Dear Baba—It’s Me Again, Library Reading Room
We all carry ‘that’ voice — the one that chatters to Baba, telling Him the silly everyday stuff. We’ll explore that: a funny complaint, a ridiculous worry, something you’d only admit to Him. We begin with prompts, listen for our whimsy, and share a laugh at our commonalities.
