The room I am staying in is called the Map Room and sure enough, as you can see, this is a wall map of the world almost from floor to ceiling.
The Bahá’ís of Bermuda have an hour-long Bahá’í Live radio station each Monday night from 8 pm to 9 pm on KJAZ, 98.1 FM. Their web site is http://www.bdaradio.com/. The show is hosted by Derick Symonds who has his own Jazz show each weekday from 3 pm to 7 pm playing Straight Ahead and Contemporary Jazz. Last Monday I had the opportunity to talk about Bahá’í Education.

Here is a picture of the Ruhi Book 7 study circle that I have started tutoring. It was a little intimidating at first because the participants include the Institute Coordinator, an Auxiliary Board Member and several members of the National Spiritual Assembly of Bermuda. This is their first home-grown Book 7 to train Ruhi Tutors. Collectively they have an amazing amount and depth of Bahá’í experience and insights. As a result, my role as tutor is largely to keep things moving and on-track and they runs the study circle pretty much themselves. I am also learning a lot myself. On Saturday 13 May 2006, they helped understand an idea that we can have spiritual emotions related to our souls, in addition to regular emotions.

After a week’s stay at Larry’s place, I moved to the home of some Baha'i friends, high on a hill over looking the north side of the island and a beautiful expansive panorama of the Atlantic.
Since then I have taken many photos and posted them to Flickr. Go to http://www.flickr.com/ and enter jdesson9 where the white box says “ Find a photo of…” or just click on this link. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/jdesson9/. Many of the photos were scenic pictures along the old railroad bed that runs along the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. I was so captivated by the beauty of the landscape.
