abstract note	This brief chronicle records some of the highlights of the 70 years that I have called myself a Baha'i. It tries to tell without bias the cheerful and the painful and both with equal candor. I am well aware that the perception of these two attributes is shaped by my own inheritance and life experience and may therefore differ from the perception of my readers. My observations carry no authority whatsoever. They are meant to stimulate thought rather than debate. Sole purpose is to invite others to walk with me through the pages of my life and take heart in the achievements of those many extraordinary people I met en route. The mere fact that there are so very few of us left who retain a clear memory of the past 80 years of history renders this task very special but also daunting. My long journey from one world to another was not just one of geography, but also one of the spirit and the intellect. It took me in every sense of the word from an old world to one that was totally new and different. It opened up new horizons and has raised hopes that the seemingly unlimited potential that dwells within us all can indeed be realized. While history, such as some of the narrated circumstances and events, cannot be altered and should not be rewritten, I have every confidence that individual engagement and collective effort will shorten the time of sorrow the world is currently passing through, and will altogether change for the better the outcome of humanity’s odyssey.
