maybe

maybe; when you've spent a life, almost a whole life with faith,
when you've lived your life with pure love and happiness,
when you find yourself {twenty four years and a month},
when you're feeling absolutely nothing but the prosperity...on a rainy night,
maybe; you would hear yourself cry and would just say:
"I hate when people die" ...

maybe it's called {fidelity}!
...maybe it's not.

It's raining outside; and I'm thinking
...

of taking a walk in the park tomorrow early morning.
... working so hard.
... making a trip.
... a sweet dream!

what are you thinking about?

feeling ... { l a t e }

There are times in life that you feel {late}!

Farshad has gone back to North for the school and I am again all by myself!
so; I just wanted to start my week fresh and focused ... but I couldn't! my mind is full of messed up things! I'm thinking about 2 big project at the same time... and this made everything seems so impossible!
this is unbelievable; but I found "thinking about myself" so hard!
::this is what I should do for the first project called {self-postrait}::
everything seemed so easy at the beginning but when I start thinking about {me} I feel DISABLED! it looks funny, I know! but it's absolutley ture!
we are thinking about us every moment! every single moment of our lives...! but when it comes to write a list: there is another story... {sigh}

I'm going to try my best!

I love these hands ...

first of all !

thank you to everyone for your wonderful comments!
reading your comments made me feel so blessed!

thanks dear Tina for making this!

so... here we go

Do you spend time with your mother?
while she's cooking or working in the kitchen or when she's doing the home-mother stuffs?!
I do.
and for me; this is one of the most joyful moments of the day. I sit there and start looking at her. at her hands. her face. her eyes.
sometimes she talks to me and I don't hear!
in those moments I'm nothing but a watcher!
because ...
She's complete. she's calm. she's perfect. she's adept. she's divine.
she's beautiful!

{I love these hands so much ...}

the poet within the Iranian fashion designer ...

Afshin Feiz was born in Iran, lives in Paris, travels all over the world, and shows his collections in New York. Add to the multiculturalism of his outlook, apprenticeships with leading fashion designers like John Galliano and a great passion for music and poetry, and you have the makings of a wonderful fashion designer. Inspired by the poetry of the Sufi poet Rumi, Feiz used delicate and tender designs in pastel colors and luxurious silks for his summer collection, reminiscent of the longing for the beloved in Rumi's verses. His Fall 2005 collection, entitled ‘Butterfly Catcher’ was filled with symbols of butterflies and candles, which in Rumi's poetry represent love and longing; the ever elusive and fatal love between the moth and the flame symbolizes the same relationship between ecstasy and pain.

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty, how to make poems
You dance inside my chest
where no-one sees you
but sometimes I do
and that sight becomes this art

because yesterday was beautiful ...

{ and breakfast is always our favorite }

Yesterday; we enjoyed a great walk after a lovely breakfast.
and the weather was wonderful !
::pure::fresh::springy::
the beautiful flowers, a very blue and cloudy sky,the adorable blossom trees, park benches and a car cemetery presented us plenty of photo opportunities:

and believe me; we are actually not frowny!
but the sunny-cloudy sky made us look like this!
;-)

oh and I decided I wouldn't mind having a Flickr profile!

there's no more time ...

to rest!
