The DM in St Clements, which was based on some quotations from The Writings on health and healing was a wonderful evening of Baha’i fellowship, further rescuing me from the abyss of disaffection brought on via the sorrow and disapointment of the last 2 months, as all the usual aspects of living a Baha’i life as coming back on line. Moving on from the attachment that brought so much sorrow, I feel a renewed sense of being content to live my life for myself, not being dependent on anyone else. The daily Baha’i exercises of reading the Writings morn and evening, the obligatory prayers and reciting Allah’u'Abha are now starting to reestablish themselves in my daily routine, and now, opportunities to enjoy the social life of Baha’i meetings are starting to reestablish my life outside my flat again. Yesterday involved a discussion in Woodstock on the 28th December message from the Universal House of Justice, and today involved a prize-giving in Barnet where about 30 children from a dozen of schools were awarded prizes for their various pieces of work on the concept of world-citizenship. The usual routine of the last few years is steadily reasserting itself, minus that attachment, and life is good. . 16:49, 16th May . I awoke at 12:50, but still tired, went back to sleep and awoke at 16:35. I had dreamed that I had travelled in time back to 1979 and met myself in some social setting such as might have happened a few years before in St Marks Road in Henley. After I woke up, I felt as if my perspective, for the first time was no longer about what I might acheive in my life, but what I might have achieved in my life. At 55 years old, my life has mostly already happened. . 06:51, 18th May . Started reading, in earnest, “The Cosmic Ordering Service” by Barbel Mohr. It seems that these factors are already working for me in a minor way, to arrange the traffic at the Cutteslowe Ring Road roundabout, enabling me more often than not, to cross the roundabout without stopping and safely too. The 19 Day Feast in St Clements last night was very pleasant, as well as a late night discussion in Headington with an old Baha’i friend before cycling home. I deliberately missed my medication last night, so as to be up bright and early to be in Bicester at 10:30 for an interview with my consultant. Otherwise getting up in time would have been well nigh impossible. It entailed getting only two hours sleep however so I can’t do this every day. .
