Sorry for my mistake, but I thought that is what the gardener was telling us. Maybe he meant he was a 10th-gen Papua New Guinean who practices Baha'i...? (Unless his generations moved a hell of lot faster than mine did.)<br /><br />And you are right about how others view something that you know intimately. There is always a rather large disconnect there, I think.<br /><br />I would be interested to know your thoughts about this film, if and when you get the chance to see it (which I hope you will). Please share them with us then.TrustMovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130460547029155342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-48926901978809847902013-08-03T09:40:22.385-04:002013-08-03T09:40:22.385-04:00It's always interesting to see how other's...It's always interesting to see how other's view something you have come to know intimately. As a Baha'i I found the funniest line in your film review to be your aside about one of the gardeners of the Bsha'i Gardens.-- "he's a tenth-generation Baha'i from Papua New Guinea." The Faith didn't come to Pupua New Guinea until 1953, hardly long ago enough for there to be a 10th generation Baha'i from that fair land An Iranian-born religion based now in Israel has devoted adherents from the shores of the Soloman Sea -- amazing!GWDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06838277713710725518noreply@blogger.com
