BESW

But if you dig into their roots, one is the nominative for a Name that means "lofty/hidden" (and the traditional Islamic Name of God); the other is an elative adjective for a Name that means "glorious" (which is the one Baha'i texts usually use).

BESW

Then you lead a happier life than I.

@BESW Excalibur's song is the reason nobody's seen Excalibur in centuries

You can only wield him if you can put up with him. Which means singing his song, dancing with him, otherwise just generally being able to coexist with him.
