Nay, for God, knowledge is the most glorious gift of man and the most noble of human perfections. To oppose knowledge is ignorant, and he who detests knowledge and science is not a man, but rather an animal without intelligence. For knowledge is light, life, felicity, perfection, beauty and the means of approaching the Threshold of Unity. It is the honor and glory of the world of humanity, and the greatest bounty of God. Knowledge is identical with guidance, and ignorance is real error.

-- Abdu'l-Baha -- Some Answered Questions,

Some background thoughts!!

Love of Mankind and the Internet.

Love is the reason for the Internet.
God has given us this gift so we can express our love. The Internet will continue because love of individuals for individuals and our general heartfelt love for mankind will encourage us to develop beautiful websites.

The Internet is not about money and making a profit. The real profit is the connecting of people together in common interests. Look at the best sites and you will find love.

How I got involved.
It was about six years ago. A fellow named Frank asked me to help him to develop a new formatting technique for Project Gutenberg materials.

I thought it a good opportunity to learn XML and get some of the old classics out to the public. I think he got very busy doing jobs that actually pay money so I was left very much on my own. I found my formatting skills improving and decided to set up a website to test the new browsers. Netscape and Opera were both working hard to get XML browsers functioning.
IE 5.0 was already up and functioning well.

As they say, one thing led to another. 4000 novels and collections later we are up and mostly running.

I later flipped to XHTML as a format. Some of the books are links to other sites.

I have always enjoyed books and wish one day to write a successful sci-fi novel.

Hope you enjoy this site!!

The Tender Land

This is where we wish to be in our inner hearts.
That place of quiet and beauty.
This place of our being accepted and loved.
Where all is for the building of trust and healing.
That tender land, nothing leads to disturbance and harm.
It is our true mother and our caring father.
It treasures our tears of joy and 
washes us in a lake of crystal water.

Would you be surprised if I say that
already it is here within our time?
