MONA'S DREAM

THE DREAM ABOUT BAHA'U'LLAH.
Ten months before Mona was killed, she had an extraordinary dream. Following is the version transcribed from her diary. In her dream, she saw Abdu'l-Baha's chair and desk, with a vase on it, as in the picture before her. She was very happy and said: "How happy I am to see your desk and chair." At the same moment she saw Baha'u'llah entering the room. The Blessed Beauty went out into an adjoining chamber and brought out a box containing a beautiful red cape. He unwrapped it in front of her, saying, "This is the cape of martyrdom in my path. Do you accept it?" Mona was speechless with happiness. Finally, she said, "Whatever pleases you..." Baha'u'llah put the cape back in the box and returned to the adjoining room bringing back with him a second box, containing a black cape which he unwrapped and said: "This black cape symbolizes sorrow in my path. Do you accept it?" Mona replied, "How beautiful are the tears shed in thy path." He put the cape back in the box and again returned to the other room, emerging with yet a third box containing an elaborately beaded blue cape of the same design as the others. Without a word of hesitation, he placed the cape around her shoulders, and said: "This is the cape of service." Then he seated himself in the chair and said to Mona: "Come and take a picture with me!" Mona was breathless with astonishment at the bounties being showered on her and could hardly walk. She looked up and saw a man sitting behind an old-fashioned camera covered by a cloth. Baha'u'llah repeated his instruction but Mona could not move. . Then Baha'u'llah took her arm, saying, "Mehdi, take our picture." And he took a picture of them together. The flash of the camera wakened her abruptly and she pleaded tearfully to be able to finish her dream and then fell asleep again. Baha'u'llah had left the room. Only the photographer remained, carrying the tripod and camera on his shoulder as if to leave. He turned around and asked Mona to convey his love to his children. But Mona could not tell which "Mehdi" he was since there were many people by that name in the long history of the Faith and in her own community. But still he looked familiar to her. "Mehdi" was busily tying his shoes and noticed that Mona did not recognize him. As he was leaving the room he turned and said, "I am Medhi Anvari." Mona instantly recognized him as one of the Baha'is of Shiraz who had previously been killed.

...just something I'd like to share...

Strawberry Sunday

I've become much of a strawberry person now. Not that I wasn't, my addiction to strawberry flavoured stuff is now proven. (???) Strawberry sticks, Strawberry jam, Strawberry & chocolate fondue (especially @ Max Brenner - Australia), Strawberry nougat (as seen above) Strawberry marshmallows, Strawberry ice-cream, Strawberry the fruit itself!!! *yummy* this reminds me of food, I shall now go over to my friend's block kitchen because we have to cook or panang lamb now. Yes, I do cook! *muahahhahaha* My pork pepper soup was indeed a success... but there can still be room for improvement.

Next on list: Black Soy Sauce Chicken/Pork!

Season 4 of One Tree Hill is indeed awesome BUT Peyton has indeed transformed into becoming a *tut* & not to mention her psycho so-called brother, Derek. He's a freak! He's freaking me out although he's just a character, not only a stalker, he's INSANE.

Season 2 of Prison Break is getting better and better. Will have to see what happens next.
