Life Is Colorful

Well, life is colorful; no doubt. All we have to admit is that black is one of the colors. We've seen and keep seeing the change of color in other people’s lives, and ours is not going to be an exception, ever.

Hers was black for a while. Anxiety, depression, stress; but there was a goldish edge to this black: hope! Then it turned gray… She was peacefully drawn in this gray stage, feeling nothing, no pain, no joy, just accepting that she is gray. She has to admit the shiny silverish edge was there. Undetected though.

She was in this gray stage of off senses when all of a sudden green opened its arms to her, took her up and swayed her in the sky, so slow, so soft, so harmonic. She is now green, she loves green, but she feels her next color would be blue, as those wisdom sensors are alarming...

I love life with all its colors!

بیتوته

بیتوته کوتاهی ست جهان
در فاصله گناه و دوزخ
خورشید
همچون دشنامی بر می آید
و روز
شرمساری جبران ناپذیریست
آه
پیش از آنکه در اشک غرقه شوم
چیزی بگوی
درخت٬
جهل معصیت بار نیاکان است
و نسیم
وسوسه ئی ست نا به کار
مهتاب پاییزی
کفریست که جهان را می آلاید
چیزی بگوی
پیش از آنکه در اشک غرقه شوم
چیزی بگوی
هر دریچه نغز
بر چشم انداز عقوبتی می گشاید
عشق
رطوبت چندش انگیز پلشتی ست
و آسمان
سرپناهی
تا به خاک بنشینی و
بر سرنوشت خویش
گریه ساز کنی.
آه
پیش از آنکه در اشک غرقه شوم چیزی بگوی٬
هر چه باشد
چشمه ها
از تابوت می جوشند
و سوگواران ژولیده آبروی جهانند
عصمت به آینه مفروش
که فاجران نیازمندترانند
خاموش منشین
خدا را
پیش از آنکه در اشک غرقه شوم
از عشق
چیزی بگوی

Nice Moments at the Airport

I've always loved to go to the airport to pick up a friend! Not only because I get a chance to see that friend, but also to see those touching momets of reunion of friends or love ones while I am waiting for mine.

Iran - The Land of Hope

We were supposed to be happy this week. We were supposed to sing and dance for moving one step forward towards democracy. We wanted to show the world that Iranian continuously care about their lovely country and its future....

But they didn’t want that happen. They simply ignored what people think and wish for. God forbid can people think better than them.? Can people know what's best for them better???

I feel so much pressure in my chest. It is of those few moments in my life that I cannot breathe easily. I am sad, so sad, so sad... and feel to some extent guilty that I am not in Iran protesting with my people for democracy and freedom. But I see that green color of hope too which makes me stay strong.

Congratulations to Americans

Today I am very happy for Americans. I think they feel how I felt when Khatami was elected. Though sometimes their arrogance annoys me, they truly deserve to have what they have. Congratulations to Americans.

شعر

گر بدین سان زیست باید پست

من چه بی‌شرمم اگر فانوس عمرم را به رسوایی نیاویزم

بر بلند کاج خشک کوچه بن‌بست

گر بدین سان زیست باید پاک

من چه ناپاکم اگر ننشانم از ایمان خود

یادکاری جاودانه بر تراز بی‌بقای خاک

از شاملو, شعور شعر معاصر

Selfishness

Can anybody tell me a single human action that doesn’t originate from selfishness? (Do you remember that episode of Friends where Joey was trying to show Fibie whatever she does comes from her selfishness?) I believe whatever we do is for us. The difference between human reactions comes from different wishes and desires.

A close friend of mine was blaming us (herself and me) for not going back and serving our country. Hey, I am selfish! You are selfish! I do whatever “I” see is right for “me”. You do whatever “you” see is right for “you”. But you know what; the one who goes back and serves his country is selfish too. (Don’t you know that God (the source of power or whatever you want to name it) is selfish too and that’s why he created us?) We were all selfish, we are all selfish, and we will be all selfish. The difference between us is that different things satisfy us…

Once I asked a Korean friend of mine, who doesn’t know much a bout the concept of worshiping and sacrificing, why she doesn’t steal when she absolutely knows nobody is going to catch her. She just said: “To some degree I experienced whatever I do would return back to me”. It was so interesting for me to hear this from her; an absolute selfishness.
