Hi Tim,
Thanks for the suggestion on Portals to Freedom. I had no luck trying to use some key search words - crack, wall, kneeling, etc. It's possible the story came from another source and that's why I cannot find it. Hope you and all the good friends in Ithaca are doing fine. I can speak for some of the friends here in Western New York that we miss seeing you folks at Unit Convention now that our districts have changed.(I am assuming you are the same Tim Nolan :-) Warm regards, Larry Dear Friends, I tried several search words in Ocean, Google, and the Baha'i Academic Library trying to find the source of the story where an individual (Howard Colby Ives?) wanted 'Abdul-Baha to teach him how to pray. The story, as I'm trying to recall, says something about how the person was waiting patiently for 'Abdul-Baha to finish praying so he could be shown how to pray. The story also conveys that as this person is waiting to receive 'Abdul-Baha's instruction he is noticing the cracks in the wall and is focusing on other distractions, etc. etc. rather than 'Abdul-Baha's praying. Does anyone know where this story can be found? I cannot remember anymore details except maybe the person was kneeling while waiting for 'Abdul-Baha to finish praying. Does this story sound familiar to anyone? Thank you, Larry Dear friends This story is in the Vignettes from the Life of Abdul-Baha Annamarie Honnold <http://fr.bookbutler.com/do/bookSearch?searchFor=Annamarie%20Honnold&search By=author&searchIn=uk&sortBy=salesrank&amountIn=gbp&shipTo=gb&zip=&showMore= true&pageNr=1> Paperback - George Ronald <http://fr.bookbutler.com/do/bookSearch?searchFor=George%20Ronald&searchBy=p ublisher&searchIn=uk&sortBy=salesrank&amountIn=gbp&shipTo=gb&zip=&showMore=t rue&pageNr=1> (Dec 1982) - 224 Pages ISBN 0853981299 <http://fr.bookbutler.com/do/bookSearch?searchFor=0853981299&searchBy=isbn&s earchIn=uk&sortBy=salesrank&amountIn=gbp&shipTo=gb&zip=&showMore=true&pageNr =1> - ISBN-13 9780853981299 <http://fr.bookbutler.com/do/bookSearch?searchFor=9780853981299&searchBy=isb n&searchIn=uk&sortBy=salesrank&amountIn=gbp&shipTo=gb&zip=&showMore=true&pag eNr=1> Pages 148-149 **.I will teach you to pray. you must not think of the cracks in the wall.** Honnold excerpts it from Dorothy Baker's ** the path to God** pages 13-17 With humility khazeh The information contained in this e-mail and any attachments thereto ("e-mail") is sent by the Johnson County Community College ("JCCC") and is intended to be confidential and for the use of only the individual or entity named above.
