Bahji

Last night I returned from a journey that was very significant to me, a pilgrimage to the holy places of the Baha’í faith in Haifa, Israel. The 18 Terraces around the Shrine of the Báb in Haifa are a stunning work of landscape and architecture. But the place that touched me the most was Bahji, near Akko, where the Shrine of Bahá’u'lláh lies tranquilly in the center of a beautiful circular garden. Drawing this scene right on location has been a joy I will never forget. Regardless of denomination, I can recommend this journey to anyone who is looking for true inspiration.

Two friends have initiated a TEDx event to be held summer 2012 in Innsbruck. I have the honour to be involved by taking care of the whole marketing aspect. We already have some amazing speakers confirmed from all around the globe! Updates will be posted frequently on the event website as well as our Twitter and Facebook accounts. Very much looking forward to this great opportunity!

martin.me is history, but martincreates.com has been updated; all the content from five years of blogging madness is archived right here. And I can finally start posting again.

This double-page from my Moleskine expresses precisely how sorry I am for not updating in a long time.

Don’t Panic

In many of the more relaxed civilizations on the Outer Eastern Rim of the Galaxy, the Hitchhiker’s Guide has already supplanted the great Encyclopaedia Galactica as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important respects.
First, it is slightly cheaper; and secondly it has the words DON’T PANIC inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.
