It is nine hours one way from Indiana. I am glad to see this page about DC. We attended the neighborhood Feast of Grandeur, and I love to pray the prayer of Abdu'l-Baha for Washington DC that is in the Tablets: O God! Grant Washington happiness and peace! Illuminate that land with the light of the faces of the friends, make it a paradise of Glory, let it become an envy of the green gardens of the earth! Help the friends, increase their number, make their hearts sources of inspiration and their souls dawnings of light. Thus may that city become a beautiful paradise and fragrant with the fragrance of musk. (Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá v2, p. 464) I just drove to Washington DC to see my sons family.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and these stories which teach important lessons as well as inspire. I didn't realize this story about 'Abdu'l-Baha and Louis Gregory happened so nearby, nor did I remember it in such detail or the potent words of 'Abdu'l-Baha. This site is a very beautiful gift.
