In this great little video using stop motion animation, Sophie Rutstein shares a passage about ‘Joy’ from a talk given by Abdu’l-Baha in Paris. The quote is: “Joy gives us wings! In times of joy our strength is more vital, our intellect keener, and our understanding less clouded. We seem better able to cope with the world and to find our sphere of usefulness.”

Thank you so much for sharing this enchanting animation of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s words. I’m sharing it on Gmail and Facebook publicly. And with an individual friend who is searching for truth. The simplicity and beauty of the animation will touch the heart of this dear lady who is dyslexic. She was daunted by a Baha’i website she looked up, saying to me ‘It was all words’.
