“This Is the Rainy Season” by Sara Forouhi

Baha’i Blog’s “Studio Sessions” is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.

In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in London, in the United Kingdom with Sara Forouhi who sings “This Is the Rainy Season” based on a talk by Abdu’l-Baha.

This song was filmed and recorded in London, in the United Kingdom, September 2018.

Lyrics & Quote

This is the rainy season. If the rain does not pour down, if the wind does not blow, if the storm and tempest do not rage, the soul-refreshing springtime will not appear. If the clouds do not weep the meadows will not laugh.
