The Chosen Highway
An individual in Queensland chose to commemorate the Centenary of the Ascension of Abdu’l-Baha by celebrating the unique station He had of being a Perfect Exemplar for humanity - a station that has never before been seen in human history. A song was composed to celebrate the incomparable steadfastness, faith and vision of Abdu’l-Baha and drew on the following words He spoke to Lua Getsinger, as quoted in The Star of the West (August 1913):
“I am walking in my chosen highway; I know the destination. Hundreds of storms and tempests may rage furiously around my head; hundreds of Titanics may sink to the bottom of the sea, the mad waves may rise to the roof of heaven; all these will not change my purpose, will not disturb me in the least; I will not look either to the right or to the left; I am looking ahead, far, far. Piercing through the impenetrable darkness of the night, the howling winds, the raging storms, I see the glorious Light beckoning me forward, forward. The balmy weather is coming, and the voyager shall land safely.”
