Today is "Valentine's Day" ...
I don't know why Iranian girls & boys celebrate it these years, but whatever the reason is, it's beautiful, because it's about LOVE !
Coming home from work this evening, I was surfing the net and browsing "The New York Times" ...
I saw titles about "Valentine" and having a look at their pages, I found this beautiful poem relating to Valentine's Day which is written about LOVE:

Love:- What a Volume in a Word:
An Ocean in a Tear,
A Seventh Heaven in a Glance,
A Whirlwind in a Sigh
The Lightning in a Touch &
A Millennium in a Moment

_ Martin Farquhar Tupper

It's worth visiting its link; the texts are interesting:

Among different works of art, I've always enjoyed music & theatre more than others, esp. because they are performed on the stage ...

In this way, one can see the process of creation of the art from the beginning to the end ... This usually doesn't happen for other works of art ... though it might be possible, it's rare ...

One usually doesn't see the process of a work of art from the beginning to the end: we don't feel like sitting beside an artist & see what she is drawing or sitting beside a novelist & share the experience of writing with her, we prefer seeing these works when they're complete, but it's not the same with music & theatre: we see these works from the beginning to the end & share the joy with the creators as well as the performers ...

During the creation of a painting or a novel, the creator is allowed to make any changes, but it's not possible when a play or a music concert is performed:the creator has created them & now there are the performers who with great talent, concentration & attention perform it ...

This is "Hamid Aameli", the old famous story teller on the radio of Iran ...
He died of lung cancer the other day ...
He was one of our besttttttt family friends, so nice, kind, knowledgeable, and modest ...
His family, relatives and friends lost a really great man ...
Peace be upon him ...

The Wise Owl

A wise old owl
Sat in an oak.

The more he saw,
The less he spoke.

The less he spoke,
The more he heard.

Why can't we be like
That wise old bird?

At present I'm reading "Gulliver's Travels" ... As everyone may know, being shipwrecked, Gulliver is thrown to a country called "Lilliput" the inhabitants of which are as small as his fingers ... The way the text is written, the English used, the spellings of words & the grammar is sometimes completely different from what we see today (first published in 1726)

Moreover; what happens to him & the way the small creatures in "Lilliput" behave towards him is interesting and sometimes soooooo funny that makes me laugh out loud ... After finding this monster (the small creatures call him " Man Mountain" ) & taking him to the emperor of "Lilliput" :" ... the emperor held frequent councils to debate what course should be taken with me ... and I was afterwards assured ... that the court was under many difficulties concerning me ... my diet would be very expensive and might cause a famine ... sometimes they determined to starve me or ... to shoot me in the face and hands with poisoned arrows ... but again they considered that the stench of so large a carcase might produce a plague in the metropolis ... and spread through the whole kingdom ... " ... " ... an imperial commission was issued out, obliging all the villages nine hundred yards round the city, to deliver in every morning six beeves, forty sheep, and other victuals for my sustenance ... " ... " ... it was ordered that three hundred taylors should make me a suit of cloaths ... six of his Majesty's greatest scholars should be employed to instruct me in their language ... "

While I was reading, enjoying and laughing, I was thinking about how Gulliver sees these creatures and how these creatures see him, for them everything is big, strong, strange, serious, frightening and important ... things that are so trivial, simple & funny ... I was thinking of the life of human, I imagined we were those creature :for us, our life & what we see,do and face may seem serious, important, sometimes strange, sometimes funny, sometimes so valuable and sometimes even full of meaning ... but if a "Gulliver" exists, how will he see our life ? Does a "Gulliver" really exist ? Of course I should wait to see what will happen at the end
