Following Curnow at Karekare

A poem inspired by Karekare beach. Allen Curnow, who was one of New Zealand's best renowned poets, had a holiday home (bach) at the Karekare settlement. My poem gets its start from a poem by Curnow. And it includes quotations from the "Long Healing Prayer" by Baha'u'llah.

Recently in New Zealand

New Zealand's Baha'i National Spiritual Assembly recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. The Head of State, Governor General Anand Satyanand, spoke at the celebration event -- the text of his speech is published on his web page.

A new website for the New Zealand Baha'i community has just gone on line. It presents a wide range of information on the Baha'i teachings and the activities of the Baha'i community in Aotearoa.

My personal reflections on this blog take inspiration from the Bahá’í teachings.
