Pavilion Fu

This is my twenty first blog. This blog is dedicated to a VIBF. VIBF is an acronym for "VERY IMPORTANT BAHA'I FRIEND" living in China . I have gained much wisdom through this "Maidservant Of God". She has proven to me that there is life
after George Orwell. Ayyam-I-Ha is soon approaching to be followed by the Baha'i
Fast. At sunset on the Nineteenth of the month of Ala comes Naw Ruz along with
Spring. There are two types of Pavilions, one is manmade the other being made by God. Pavilon is like and "Angle of the Morning", a breath of "Springtime. The year I was born the "People's Republic of China" was established. Malcolm X said China would someday have a big impact on the world. At that time people believed this would be in the form of Maoist Marxism. Twenty years ago there were some radical
paradigm shifts in thinking. George Orwell wrote the book titled:1984. Joseph Stalin
was the prototype for big brother. Think about George Orwell and the "Year of the
Rat". George Orwell derived the title of his book from the year 1948.These are the
"Years of the Rat":
1948
1960
1972
1984
I joined the Baha'i Faith in 1981. There were people fretting at that time about 1984.
1984 came ,however,not the way people expected. The old Smith Corona Marchant
factory was raised in 1984. This was the last year there was a Baha'i Community in
the Town of Dryden.We never reached enough people to establish a "Spiritual
Assembly.I knew a Electrical Engineer who was a Professor at Cornell University. His
name was Homer Ling. I believe he was in tune with the Covenant of Baha'u'llah. He
strove for the emancipation of women. His wife had trouble with her feet. There was
a belief a woman couldn't have a husband if she had big feet. Her feet were bound
when she was younger and she experienced much agony. Mr Ling said a person
could survive if they treated people right. He had encounters with the Japanese when
they invaded China. Mr Ling said he joined a group of women sufferage parade and
paraded in front of President Woodrow Wilson. I still have mechanical drawings his
sons drew.
I have said prayers for the emancipation of women and now my VIBF Pavilion
Fu has appeared as a representative of the New China. This comes at a time when the
"Old World Order" is being torn down and the "New World Order of Baha'u'llah" is
"Being Built". Pavilion is "ONE OF BAHA'U'LLAH'S "very important "Maidservants".
