Fit to Be THAIed

A Baha'i youth volunteer teacher/missionary in Thailand tells his story
"If in the uttermost corners of the East the sweet savours of God be wafted, he will assuredly recognize and inhale their fragrance, even though he be dwelling in the uttermost ends of the West." - Baha'u'llah

So, here it is, a pictorial record of my Year of Service for the Baha'i Faith in Thailand, my true home. I needed some courage to leave my country, but the drums of heaven were pounding, and with nothing lost-nothing gained. Burning with a need to serve Baha'u'llah, I left on wheels of fire, with hardly time to even read about it. Though I feared loss and pain, the meaningless movements of my life up until then told me how it is, so I did arise. Now that I have returned to my native territory, I remember the outside world , and think, If Baha'u'llah wants me in Thailand, who can stand in the way? Now each day the sound of my desperate cry, I know that each dawn I die. Mabye too much love will kill me after all... :-)
