Upon hearing the Message of the Báb, Mullá Husayn said: “This Message, which was given to me so suddenly and without any preparation, came like a clap of thunder. For a while I could neither see, nor feel, nor hear. It was too great to be true. I could not realize what had happened. I became excited and happy. Before, I had been weak and powerless. I became glad and strong. I felt that I had so much courage and power that, even if all the world were to rise up against me, I would be able to meet any […]

“Force, the old standard, is losing its dominance, and intuition, insight, glimpses of cosmic consciousness and the spiritual qualities of love and service in which woman is strong are gaining ascendancy. And you see that this new epoch is an age in which masculine and feminine elements of civilisation are becoming more evenly adjusted. Man and woman are as the two wings of the bird of humanity and this bird cannot attain its highest flight until these two wings are equally strong and equally poised. One of the important teachings of the Baha’i Faith is that women should be regarded […]

When I was small, my dad used to work at the cork factory in Budapest. He loved working with this special material. Cork comes from the bark of cork oak trees and Portugal is the biggest manufacturer of cork products. I wanted to bring home some nice cork souvenirs for my dad. I randomly went into a restaurant by the beach to ask if they had some corks from wine bottles, I thought maybe a handful. They gave me a whole plastic bag filled with them☺️ Any nice ideas what to make out of them?

The sea, the conquerer. It heals the soul, it quiets the mind. It awakens the feelings, it purifies the moment.

J.K. Rowling used to teach English in Porto. She frequently visited Cafe Majestic on Santa Caterina, Porto’s favorite shopping street. They say that she would scribble her notes on napkins here and even that she finished her first Harry Potter book at this cafe. Of course, tourists nowadays line up in front to be able to soak in the atmosphere of Cafe Majestic.

I confess: I have fallen for roasted chestnuts. Here in Porto you can buy them in the street (I have been, every evening). As you walk, you can see the smoke of the roasting carts from far away. You get about 15 chestnuts and the sellers put them in double paper bags (attached to each other) so as you walk in the street and eat these delicious warm nuts, you can throw the shells in the other bag. Really practical.

So they say that the winged lion statues of the Fonte dos Leões may have provided the inspiration to J.K. Rowling for the Gryffindor house symbol. What do you think? Beautiful beasts, right?
