The veils of age have prevented Mum
from putting down her thoughts in a
love letter to you, in her own inimical
style. You loved her dearly, the ‘Grand
Matriarch’, as you so lovingly calledher- a
name which summed up the respect and
lovewhichyouheld forher. And likewise
Mum toyou. Althoughyourservice to the
Cause took different paths, youmatched
eachother insteadfastnessand faith. Can
you just hear her quoting Abdul-Baha,
with all the conviction of her heart, “As
ye have Faith, so shall your powers and
blessingsbe. This is the standard,THIS is
the standard, THIS ISTHESTANDARD.”
So it will be in the realms beyond that
you get to continue your conversations
in richer, deeper vein, surrounded by the
love youhave for eachother, but a richer,
deeper heavenly love. It will surely be a
reunionof twobeloved souls, as youboth
ooh and aahover the “mysteries ofwhich
man has been heedless in this earthly
world,” and become “informed of the
secret of truth.”!
“And know thou for a certainty, that in the
divineworlds, the spiritual beloved oneswill
recognize each other, and will seek union
with each other, but a spiritual union…
Likewise will they find all the friends of
God, both those of the former and recent
times, present in the heavenly assemblage.“
‘Abdu’l-Baha.
