      I had finally met fellow Baha'is for thier weekly March prayer meetings in Elsong Gardens on March 12th and was rewarded with this beautiful day in the garden when the tulips are blooming. I hope you enjoy this day as I did. As you tour with me think of this prayer we shared that day. It has brought me such joy and comfort.

      " O God! Refresh and gladden my spirit. Purify my heart. Illumine my powers. I lay all my affairs in Thy hand. Thou art my guide and my refuge. I will no longer be sorrowful and grieved; I will be a happy and joyful being.      O God! I will no longer be full of anxiety, nor will I let trouble harass me, I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of life. O God! Thou art more friend to me than I am to myself. I dediacte myself to Thee, O Lord."
