A Meal with 'Abdu'l-Baha

A Meal with
'Abdu'l-Baha

Inspiration A Memorable Meal with ‘Abdu’l-Bahá   by Amy Renshaw

On a day in 1912,
in Washington D.C.,
'Abdu'l-Baha demonstrated
the unity of humanity.

At a meal--
with Washington D.C.'s social leaders
and politicians-
he placed Louis Gregory1
to his right.

This was how 'Abdu'l-Baha
put his words
into action.

Poet's Note: ▼

This is poem #78 of the 100 poems I am writing for the Centenary of the Ascension of 'Abdu'l-Baha.
