A Decision Finally Made...

...Yesterday I became a Bahá'i.

As a Bahá'i I follow a World Religion, a belief that has steadily settled into my soul after working for 6 years on a multimedia project about Bahá'u'lláh's life. And after a total of nearly 10 years of shorter and longer conversations with Bahá'i friends--who patiently answered my questions and never, never pushed me in any way--I came to the realization that the story of this man and his message are for me an undeniable truth that could not be changed or argued away.

I know that my friends and family who may read this have puzzled expressions on their faces... Don't worry, I am the same today as I was yesterday. I don't have to be rescued from any handlers, am not in a cult, or have to be 'deprogrammed'. It's really quite simple, I have no doubt that Bahá'u'lláh is who he sais he is, and I've finally put my signature where my belief is. Be happy for me.
