Just a thought

… it’s not at the dump!

In an earlier post I was musing about three old electronic appliances I had, tiny TV/Radio with battery pack, heat writing FAX/phone/answering machine, Toshiba CT300, notebook computer with docking station… I just can’t throw them out!

I kept the fax, a friend who visited here recently needed to send a fax (not email), a form with signature, overseas. So, I unpacked the fax machine, plugged it in, turned it on, sent the fax, disconnected and voila, task accomplished.

The Toshiba notebook went to a 12 year old kid. His parents don’t want him on the internet, he wants to play games… I left Office 97 on the machine, cleaned it all off, and the kid is in heaven!

The tiny TV is still here. I’ll keep it a little longer. Perhaps I’ll find a place where a good radio and occasional black/white TV program breaks up the day, such as at that busy farm stand that provides field-fresh goodies all summer long.

Time to clean the BBQ!

…Yesterday I became a Bahá’i.

As a Bahá’i I follow a World Religion, a belief that has steadily settled into my soul after working for 6 years on a multimedia project about Bahá’u’lláh’s life. And after a total of nearly 10 years of shorter and longer conversations with Bahá’i friends–who patiently answered my questions and never, never pushed me in any way–I came to the realization that the story of this man and his message are for me an undeniable truth that could not be changed or argued away.

I know that my friends and family who may read this have puzzled expressions on their faces… Don’t worry, I am the same today as I was yesterday. I don’t have to be rescued from any handlers, am not in a cult, or have to be ‘deprogrammed’. It’s really quite simple, I have no doubt that Bahá’u’lláh is who he sais he is, and I’ve finally put my signature where my belief is. Be happy for me.
