So surprise surprise, a lot happened while I was out. For example: this Reuters story onBaha’i Pilgrimage:

The hushed Baha’i pilgrimage to the Holy Land focuses on personal prayer and meditation, and is like no other in a region long torn between religions struggling — often noisily and sometimes violently — for hearts, minds and land.

“It was a spiritual journey for me,” said Mutale Salimu Hobbs, 30, from Zambia in southern Africa.

“It was a great experience, with people coming together as one,” she said on Mount Carmel, the world headquarters of the Baha’i movement above the busy Israeli port city of Haifa.

I was lucky enough to go on pilgrimage back in January and, at risk of sounding cliche, it really was a life changing experience. So if you haven’t yet, be sure to get yourselves signed up.
