Tonight's devotional: Laurel & David, Bernie and I, nephew Rowan and friends Ali & Tracy gather for prayers in our living room. Ali chants in a voice so rich it sends shivers...Arabic, French, and leading into English: God is sufficient unto me, He verily is the All-Sufficing, in Him let the trusting trust. A chant used by Babis, back in 19th Century Persia, when the persecution of Babis and then Baha'is began...where Baha'u'llah and His fellow prisoners in the Siyah-Chal prison chanted their way heavenwards. Heavenwords.
