Anni - The Perfect Wisdom Web

a n n iperson is fully involved, there couldn’t be any breakingoff of the old, but only a continued building. There canalso be no regret or disappointment over something thathas been done, only hope for the future. I wonder if youunderstand what I mean by being patient. It is easier torecognize something than to let your whole self be overwhelmedby something, because that requires that youare very ready and very humble and make yourself veryopen.AnniAfter several months, Anni visited the Sparhof communityagain. She later told:I had no understanding of the Christian basis of thecommunity. I was a Protestant by birth, but inwardly theChristian faith had no meaning for me. On the contrary, Ifelt there was so much hypocrisy that I had turned againstit. But while I was at the Sparhof there was a meetingwhich impressed me. I do not know what the meetingwas about, but I can only say that something of the HolySpirit was moving there. It gripped me, and I felt: I haveto come back here! I have to stay here! There was somethingtrue and real that I had not found anywhere else,not even in the Youth Movement.At one of the next meetings, the circle of members feltthat they all needed to begin anew together, to pledgethemselves again to their commitment. After the eveningmeeting a fire was built in the middle of the community,and we all stood around it in a circle. Emi-Margret’s father100
