The Ruhi Signature

We've been hosting a Ruhi course at our house. It's a Baha'i thing. Ruhi is an institute that puts together mateIrials intended to provide a consistent and measurable set of spiritual deepening for Bahai's worldwide. Think 'prepared Bible study' and you've got the right idea...except we're not studying the Bible. We're studying Bahai Writings.

This has been a major touchstone for me recently. I thank God that the Ruhi class comes to us. If I had to travel to get there, I probably wouldn't go -- too distracted. Instead, it comes to us: adult classes; children's classes and guitar players, piano players, violin/cello players. and a roomful of people unafraid to sing.

Every Friday evening, our house fills with people, love, joy, music, laughter, and spiritual work.

I'm glad for this because we're putting our spiritual signature on the house we restored. We built it with our hands; with the Ruhi courses, we're signing it with our hearts.

May the energy of these evenings  become part of the vibrations withn this house. I want that to happen. I want that very much.
