Biography

Firstly I am a Baha'i, and I am an Author, painter, poet, sculptor, and I have earned a Diploma of Art and Creativity from The Learning Connexion in Wellington, New Zealand. I am 68 years young, and have a keen interest in meeting new people from all around the world, and helping to bring about greater understanding and love to the human world. I believe strongly in the concept of One World, as 'the earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.' A quote directly from the Baha'i Writings. I am a mother of 5 grown up children, I am a grandmother of 11, and a great grandmother of 1 (I think)

IMPORTANCE OF THE LAND by Tricia Hague-Barrett (1994) To attempt to answer that question of his I would have to say that New Zealand just is Though not important as the earth as a whole For mankind is one, we can’sider ourselves told But there is too much import laid on this land Instead of each other’s human heart and hand Perhaps tomorrow we shall see this is so And assist each other to finally grow But far beyond our need to live in our world Is the need to prepare a Kingdom unfurled Living sentient days without all the fuss And loving each other as we know that we must Because we are all conditional beings Coming to terms without our innermost feelings Learning to find out who we really are We only know by the road travelled so far Having hindsight is the only way to know How much we have grown and how far left to go Growing spiritually with each difficulty God knows how to make us go down on our knees To worship His loving-kind-thoughtfulness His laws and His guidance are always with us My prayer is that we will let go of our needs And find ways to show not our words but our deeds Then land will not become our dominant goal And true education given to the soul Our love of each other will grow so deep fast And nationalism will not have a chance It won’t take hold anywhere on this planet Bringing heartache and suffering to fan it The suffering flames will finally go out And our souls will mean more, and land now’t Tricia © copyright 1994
