Parisa Fitz-Henley Instagram – May we clear away that which has not served us, may our commitment to that which is good be reconfirmed, may we experience the purest of joys — even in the midst of challenges. May the challenges strengthen us, increase our gratitude and compassion. May the shortcomings we see in others remind us of our own. May we be cognizant of the ancestors supporting our growth. May we over and over remember our own, and each other’s, humanity. And may we humbly, gratefully recognize and receive infinite blessings. We made it this far y’all. Here’s to applying all we’ve learned to a more courageous, just, prosperous, beautiful 2023. Happy New Year 🎆
With love,
Parisa

![Parisa Fitz-Henley Instagram – 23… an unfair trial. And over 475 protestors killed in the last few months… 💔
“These fruitless strifes, these ruinous wars shall pass away, and the ‘Most Great Peace’ shall come. Yet do we see your kings and rulers lavishing their treasures more freely on means for the destruction of the human race than on that which would conduce to the happiness of mankind. … These strifes and this bloodshed and discord must cease, and all men be as one kindred and one family. … Let not a man glory in this, that he loves his country; let him rather glory in this, that he loves [human] kind. …” – quoted by J. E. Esselmont in Baha’u’llah and the New Era, p. 39.
