“During My journey [in the Western U.S.] and traveling in those parts, I beheld wonderful scenes and beautiful panoramas of nature, orchards and rivers; national parks and general conclaves; deserts, plains, meadows and prairies; and the grains and fruits of that region greatly attracted My attention; even to the present moment they are in My mind.”

– ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of the Divine Plan
