I have been in a very good mood since my return from France and Spain (Malaga and Islas Canarias). The weather in Miami has been superb, the kind one expects in the Mediterranean region.. but it is still the height of winter here..
Each day I look at the sun coming up and the sun going down, marking one day that I have enjoyed before it becomes past. Unborn tomorrow and Dead yesterday, why fret about them if today be sweet thus sung the bard of Mirzapur .
Yes days have been sweet . Last night was the full moon and enjoyed a discourse about the importance of enjoying the person who you are, if you do know who you are..
The sun is rising, I go barefoot on the grass, moisture from the blades transferred to my skin, grateful for this earth.
The days are blending into each other, pleasant, new experiences.
The Sun sets and the Moon will take its place in the sky. The fury of the Sun and the gentleness of the Moon.
I have noticed a curious phenomenon, even though it has happened many times before .
Someone leaves and immediately someone enters as if they were waiting at the door waiting for it to open.
A trader from a snowy city in the east left, an adventurous soul who left her land arrived her and we say hello to her, filling our hearts with her adventurous story.
Perhaps a soul with a journey has to leave others who are stagnant in their path behind, like the San Bushmen do when they go hunting for a long time or move camps. Stagnation is lack of curiosity about truth and the laziness to move from the accepted untruth of their existence and the fear to question their own existence.
if you are happy, there is no need to shout at another.. As the Little poet of Côte Sauvage said: If you talk too loudly, eventually you loose your voice. and she was intuitively reminding us of what RUMI said
Thunder does not grow plants, it is the rain that does it ..
Easy to bring thunder into your voice your heart and your head. but be gentle like the rain, you grow you will know who you are and then find your place in this planet and also in the universe. We don't need a religion or a mullah to tell us what we should think. Neither a Priest nor a Rabbi.
Wise men should be respected so that we would like to be like them.. Be a Buddha ..
I was in this pensive mood, while the house was very quiet when I thought of Ashgar Farhadi and his last movie HERO.
When did Ashgar Farhadi enter my life? with his movie, Separation ?
Here he is talking about the movies and the directors he liked and who influenced him.

I have not yet learned how to compress it enough to put it in the blog, but i had to cut it into several pieces. But here he is..
Ashgar Farhadi's new movie A HERO is already out, after winning a prize at Cannes. Here is the official trailer.
I have so many people to thank, for keeping alive this love of mine for IRAN (the people, the country but not the Rulers).
Many people .. and through them I reached Hafez, Maulana, Ferdowsi and many others ..It is a country that I know without ever having visited it .
A special thanks to a friend from Karaj, for lighting this flame in my heart. Thank you ..
