The Twelfth Day of Ridvan
A very holy day.
I again attended Farsi class in Burien with the youngsters, who already speak Farsi in their homes, but are learning to write it. The instructor, Saeid, is an instrument maker. He had recently met my friends Tim and Deb who publish a magazine for instrument makers, coincidentally. Today he mentioned that he had seen their magazine while he still lived in Iran. He makes "tars," a traditional fretted Persian instrument, and today I got to see a tar he made.
Two large lobes from mulberry wood form the body, and the neck is also from mulberry; there is lambskin stretched across the body cavity; the frets are of camel bone, and the strings are of gut. It is beautiful. I realize that it would be difficult to make most instruments without using parts from animals, but what a beautiful use of them.
One of the students played a violin piece during the break, the teacher played a piece on the tar, and another student played a traditional Iranian melody on the recorder. I was enchanted.
This afternoon we celebrated Ridvan at Lisa's house in Salishan, subsidized housing which has been rebuilt recently. The old, WWII-era houses were falling apart. The new neighborhood is beautiful. Lisa's home has become a hub of children's classes and activities since the direct teaching there in the last few months. Parents trust their children to Lisa, as they know her from the school where she works. We had about six adults and many children at the holy day today, and we were singing songs of unity and songs the children sing at their classes.
Later I was, to my surprise, invited to a home visit where we studied the Baha'i scriptures on honesty at the home of Jeff, another gentleman contacted recently. He said he felt that God had attracted the Baha'is to his door. He is so friendly and spiritually deepened, and had so many stories illustrating his life of relying on God continually. "Who knows what the day will bring, it could bring anything. Who knows if we'll still be here? We could be there." ~ lyrics by Gerry Rafferty.
Before we left I offered a song based on this verse from Baha'u'llah, which I find so touching:
To gather jewels have I come to this world. If one speck of a jewel lie hid in a stone, and that stone be beyond the seven seas, until I have found and secured that jewel my hand shall not stay from its rest.
~Baha'u'llah.
To me it contains a message that, no matter how obscurely we can be hidden, Baha'u'llah can see our hearts and connect with us.

The Story of Joseph
I was in line at the grocery store, thinking about writing to my mother, and what to write about. I remembered one of my best memories from when we used to go up the logging roads in Idaho to pick huckleberries to one of our favorite places. There was a hillside with one or two abandoned autos, many huckleberry bushes, but also a beautiful stream.
I remember this stream as the ultimate Platonic ideal stream: deep in the forest, surrounded with greenery, bubbling over mossy stones, it looked like the photo model for one of those streams in the Kool cigarette ads. I sat with my mother by this stream and she mentioned that we were not far from where Chief Joseph had traveled while being pursued by the Army. She told me this story, and what he said when he surrendered--not captured, but surrendered: "I will fight no more forever."
I imagine this was to save the people of the village from further bloodshed.
Now I've been honored to meet, through the Baha'i Faith, relatives of Chief Joseph.
In my mind I call this "Chief Joseph Stream."

Peanut Butter: The Test of Sincerity
"Anonymous" challenged my level of compassion because I don't support the business of begging. This is ironic because my naturally compassionate nature has made me a magnet for beggars so many times over the years that I have had multiple interactions with them.
There are two classes of beggars, sincere and insincere.
One out of ten are sincere. They are hungry, and they are satisfied with food. The food which keeps the best and has the most fat and protein, as well as is most easily transported, is peanut butter. Very few people are actually allergic to it, and truly hungry people are grateful to receive it.
Nine out of ten are insincere. Insincere beggars, panhandlers, are running a business by finding a target [you] and selling a product [their story.] They have a radar for compassionate people and will tell whatever story will put the bucks in their pocket. After so many interactions with them, I also have a radar for insincere people. I think that is what prompted my rather flippant entry the other day. I'm weary of the insincere approach.
I am giving my heart and soul to a covenant-based organization which I am convinced is changing the world, one heart at a time. And the best part? "No salesman will call on you."

A Melange
Two busy to post this personal food diary for several days. Thursday we were served Italian food at work, heavy in refined flour, animal fats, and delicious. Especially the penne in alfredo sauce and the meatballs.
Friday we had a work potluck with mine the only truly vegetarian entree.
I've noticed peculiar bodily sensations from excess sugars, salt, fats and meat. Hard to describe, kind of jazzed, icky, sometimes headachy. The caffiene the last two days also didn't help.
Seems as if this level of self indulgence gets short term pleasure but long term ick.

To the Old Country Buffet
In self-defense I took Enayat to Old Country Buffet versus his new favorite Wall of China buffet which is horrible; so-so food, no windows, awful decor and claustrophobic. I thought the choices were healthier at Old Country Buffet, but I took a holiday from my ideal eating plan.
Breakfast: toast with peanut butter and pickles; soy milk.
Lunch/Dinner: about a half cup each of the following:
fried taco shell with lettuce, pico de gallo, beans, cheese sauce, olives
half a plate of fresh salad bar
kielbasa piece X 2, 1/2 baked potato with cheese, macaroni and cheese, chicken and dumplings, a triangle of fried fish, fried broccoli?, mashed potatoes, cornbread dressing with poultry gravy, meatloaf, french fries, cherry and apple pie with ice cream [the dispenser was messed up so there was a sploot of watery ice cream on top of the pie]. Root beer and milk 1:1; 1/2 serving of cherry coke.
At home: about 12 ounces of apple cider.
