i bear witness

These two pieces were inspired by dear friends of mine (and sent to them). In case you can’t read the quotes, they read:

“o Thou kind Lord!  Bestow heavenly confirmation upon this daughter of the kingdom…that she may, even as a nightingale of the rose garden of mysteries, warble melodies in the Abhá Kingdom in the most wondrous tones, thereby bringing happiness to everyone.”“ ~Abdu’l-Baha

“Release yourself from this world’s life, and at every stage long ye for non-existence; for when the ray returneth to the sun, it is wiped out, and when the drop cometh to the sea, it vanisheth; and when the true lover findeth his Beloved, he yieldeth up his soul.” ~Abdu’l-Baha
