I actually read the Fire Tablet the other day, in light of recent events, which really touched me, but it's still hard to believe or explain that the 'old world' is like a chimera <i> (a grotesque monster having disparate parts )</i> somthing horrible, but that the new world which will come, which we are working towards is not chimerical<i> (wildly fanciful; highly unrealistic)</i>. at the same time, I am so very glad that Autumn for you means Spring in the Southern latitudes! being the first to comment is like being the first at a banquet table, but Sarmad, I want to say how much I love the way you weave these wonderful images together and create a lavish feast of words and ideas …

as a Bahai, I can see that there are cycles and the worlds affairs also go through seasons. I actually read the Fire Tablet the other day, in light of recent events, which really touched me, but it’s still hard to believe or explain that the ‘old world’ is like a chimera (a grotesque monster having disparate parts ) somthing horrible, but that the new world which will come, which we are working towards is not chimerical (wildly fanciful; highly unrealistic).

at the same time, I am so very glad that Autumn for you means Spring in the Southern latitudes!

And a quick check of my diary has just revealed to me that the equinox this year is, in fact, on the 23rd! Now, does this also mean that autumn begins tomorrow? If so, let's be clear: IT IS STILL SUMMERTIME! To be perfectly doctrinaire, the equinox does vary in date from time to time.
