“It is incumbent upon the Aghsan, the Afnan and My kindred to turn, one and all, their faces towards the Most Mighty Branch. Consider that which We have revealed in Our Most Holy Book: 'When the ocean of My presence hath ebbed and the Book of My Revelation is ended, turn your faces toward Him Whom God hath purposed, Who hath branched from this Ancient Root.' The object of this sacred verse is none other except the Most Mighty Branch (Abdu'l-Baha). Thus have We graciously revealed unto you our potent Will, and I am verily the Gracious, the All-Powerful.” BookFacesTurnsPowerfulObjectsHolyOceanRootsSacredAncientBranchesRevelationsYour FaceVersesGraciousKindredIncumbentsHoly BooksBaha Author:Bahá'u'lláh

But because a plant creates bilateral symmetry at the soil horizon, it sloughs off root mass when the top gets chopped off.” EarthTurnsEnergyWealthTreeMassRootsBreathsPlantBurningFasterGrassSoilHorizonReach OutCarbonOxygenPulsePrimalEcosystemsPredatorDisturbanceSymmetryHyperSolar EnergyTurnoverSlough Author:Joel Salatin
“The word 'religion' takes on a sinister cast when one examines its root, religare, meaning 'to bind,' which in turn means 'to hold, to make prisoner, to restrain.” MeanReligionTurnsRootsCastsPrisonerSinister Author:Annie Laurie Gaylor
