more Baha'i Gardens on Mt. Carmel
Baha'i Center for the Study of the Sacred Texts, Mt. Carmel, Haifa, Israel from Leila's flickr album Arc, Terraces and Gardens
I have the Holy Land on my mind still today.
Here is such a short and sweet little video of the Terraces. Makes me just long to be able to go and sit there by the fountains surrounded by the exquisite, immaculate-beyond-imagination gardens and the immense grandeur of the Shrine of the Bab. Truly truly a "spiritual garden".
"The Baha'i gardens in Haifa have been called the eighth wonder of the world and likened to the hanging gardens of Babylon...the entire garden is enveloped in spiritual feeling." Narrator
"Spiritual garden somehow directs you to your inside and feel that you are alone with God...the fountains are designed to be so quiet it is as if someone is saying a prayer in your ears..." Fariborz Sahba--architect

I love this video and have shared it on bahaiyouth.com for all to enjoy. Please join bahaiyouth.com if you have not done so. Thanks Vicki
so sweet to use one of my pilgrimage pictures! and this reminds me that although i planned on doing a memory thing of our pilgrimage last year, i haven't! not at all! in between my sister's being here and my Xtreme workload, i haven't done any reflection whatsoever.
i will try to do that soon, though. even though i missed the actual anniversary.
oh, and that's the Centre for the Study of the Texts, not the International Teaching Centre!
love from leila
thanks Leila for the comment AND the correction! i have corrected in on the post.
