Wow! my very first website... Welcome to my world.
Obviously the stuff you\'d most like to know about are my favourite web-pages; and these should tell you something about myself too;-
www.seizetheday.org
Seize the Day are definitely my favourite band - I can play almost all of their songs;- and have even worked-out guitar parts for purely vocal songs like \"Designer Kids\"
www.bahai.org
This is the official site of the Baha\'i Faith - and I am one of the 6 million Baha\'is in the world. It\'s a good place to learn the essentials of what Baha\'is believe, as is
www.bahai.com, and;
www.bcca.org/bahaivision/
www.esperanto.net
I am fascinated by various languages; especially invented languages such as Esperanto. The founding-concept of Esperanto was to create a language that was easy to learn (but as full of expressions as any natural tongue); which everyone in the world could learn. Thus anyone could talk to anyone else, and only need to learn one language.
www.bahai-library.com/essays/zamenhof.html
Here you can learn a little about my absolute hero;- Lidia Zamenhof - the first Polish Baha\'i. Her story is the most moving thing I\'ve read since I became a Baha\'i 6 years ago; and has inspired me to devote my efforts to bring the Baha\'i teachings to Poland.
www.asn.org.uk
The website of the Autonomous Student Network; which has been especially active in opposing the proposed closure of 5 departments in Swansea University (where I study at the moment).
www.yomgaille.com
Beautiful site; filled with funny and intriguing things. Especially the rabbit who had a gun!
www.beyondthewaves.com
Another beautiful site - linked from Yomgaille. It has some quite moving artwork on it; and don\'t stop exploring until you\'ve seen the Russian Dolls...
www.geocities.com/sofia_gradin/
My favourite living poet - an amazing Swedish woman I met in Cardiff only a couple of weeks ago.
www.wikipedia.com
Online encyclopedia with information about various things; most interesting thing I found there was pages about Pravic - the invented language in Le Guin\'s book, \"The Dispossed\"
That\'s probably told you a lot about myself; my faith, home, favourite book and band, most inspiring person and what I generally do online!
The only thing left for me to say is- enjoy those sites! And you\'re welcome to any Baha\'i activities that are happening in your area;- for instance, I am organising a Spiritual Festival in the South of Poland this July (4th to 10th). People from all over Europe are welcome- from every religious background too! You can e-mail me about it at spirityoutpol@yahoo.com
Or you can talk to me personally at
benbahai@hotmail.com
