What the world could do

The precise moment, I still remember. It was right after coming back from my baby sister's burial.

In a shallow hole, alongside many others, she was laid to rest. In the chaos of her grave, she must have felt lonely as a shovelfull of dirt hit her closed eyes, she clung onto a piece of me, which was torn away and remained with her forever.

I looked in the cracked mirror of my late mother's dressing table, a trace of me still visible in each of the seven ghostly distortions looking back. I realized that I had nothing more to loose.

I made my mind or maybe others made it for me: I decided to leave.

لحظه ی دقیقی که تصمیم به ترک وطن گرفتم را هنوز به یاد دارم. درست بعد از بازگشت از مراسم تدفین خواهر کوچکم. وقتی که او در قبری کم عمق،  در آغوش تعداد زیادی مرده، آرام می گرفت. در ازدحام قبر دست جمعیش حتما احساس تنهایی و غریبی کرد که به محض اینکه یک بیل خاک با چشمان بسته اش برخورد کرد، به تکه ای از من چنگ انداخت. تکه ای که از من جدا شد و برای همیشه با او ماند. در آینه ی ترک خورده ی میز آرایش مادر مرحومم نگاه کردم. هنوز اثری از من  در هر هفت شبح که از داخل شکسته های های آینه به من چشم دوخته بودند، دیده می شد. آنجا بود که فهمیدم  دیگر چیزی برای از دست دادن ندارم. تصمیم خود  را گرفتم، یا شاید دیگران برایم تصمیم گرفتند: باید می رفتم.

بهترین چای لیوانی

I didn't expect my new discovery, the 'rose garden' blend of tea, to be this fulfilling.
The aroma took me back to my childhood, I've discovered my favourite blend of tea!

عجیبه که عطر و طعم گل محمدی به این آسانی مرا به دوران کودکی و سرزمین مادری می کشاند

یاد حرف "م" افتادم که می گفت: این خارجی ها همه چیز را از خودمان می گیرند، کمی ظاهرش را آراسته می کنند و چندین برابر گران تر به خودمان می فروشند. می گویید نه اینهم نمونه اش که قبلا نوشتم

I have to get over this

After a period of illness, treating yourself can work as a short term fix. Today some retail-therapy and a new hair cut improved my mood.

Talk + Tea

I knew the coffee shop had to be on the road where I parked, but I didn't know the exact location. I decided to give "G" a ring to make sure. On her confirmation, I got out of the car and started walking towards the row of shops just a few meters away.
There it was on my left! The windows were steamed up. I opened the door and entered the cosy coffee shop. Inside was just as I imagined it to be chic and shabby.

We had a long chat and I learned so much. I look forward to out next meeting. I guess this event also inspired the idea of our book club.

The norm plot, again

Autumn is back, ready to embrace the northern hemisphere again, and I still wonder if leaves jump or shed into fall's open arms.

و باز همان رسم هنجار تغییر فصل و سوگواری درخت ها برای دور شدن خورشید

The sanctuary of A page

Pere-Lachaise Cemetery, Paris

Heaven is where all is as calm as the world enclosed by these pages. 

 تنفس به شرط زندگی

هوای مجازی این صفحه را ریه هایم چنان با ولع می بلعند که گویا زندگی جز در انزوای این محراب میسر نیست

When hope crumbles

Objects (and sometimes events) look different in the light. This is why creeping back into the dark tunnel of uncertainties is not always a terrible option.
