Chase

I stopped the chase and became a witness. I refused to listen to ego and to run after "more", I cried bitter tears, I asked for forgiveness as I forgave those who had hurt me. I cried. I felt blessed for all that I already had and I thanked the universe. Then I served, I gave, and I received ten fold. And for a moment experienced the silence of the universe and the God within.

Hendel

هندلم کو؟
 
هندلی می خواهم که مرا
ار رختخواب بیرون اندازد
لباس تنم کند
هٌلم دهد تا
کیانا را به مدرسه ببرم
کار کنم
پول در آوزم
قسظ خانه را بدهم
تا بی خانمان نشویم
موتورم دیگر کار نمی کند
بیزینش هم تمام شده
پس هندلم کو؟

نیلو :)

I Wish I Could Believe

کاش میتوانستم باور کنم. سادگی را باور کنم, صداقت را باور کنم, عشق را باور کنم. ولی دلم به خشکی شاخه ای پیر و روحم شکسته چون تکه چوبی شناور در آب. نمی توانم فراموش کنم. یا شاید دیگر حوصله اش را ندارم. دل پبر و بدن قراضه, روح خسته و وامانده. باورنمیکنم که این منم!

My special needs child

I always thought discrimination is against color and race. Little did I know my mentally and physically challenged girl would face such brutal discrimination. They expelled her from school because they could not accommodate her, "there is no money" they said. I cried. The trillions of $$ spent or stolen from the war, only a tiny bit of it could save my child. They robbed her of a future. And I cannot do anything. They don't have to answer to anybody. I cried.....

"Kafsh hayam koo?"

can't get out of bed. Too many things to deal with. Better to hide out under the covers. But Ki is waiting for her breakfast. "Kafsh hayam koo?" (where are my slippers)

Freedom

Lost the job, lost the money, lost the house, if only I could lose the joint pains, I'd be free for good :)
