.As autumn starts, I embrace transformation
Dear friends! Just like my website, I need a few updates too. You might notice some hiccups while we both get a little makeover. During this time, you can still write to me as always via email or social media, and I’ll be checking those channels. To fit with these new changes and challenges, I’m writing in English to feel less pain as I step into another world. Thanks for your patience and support!

No man wants
to fall in love with a woman
who works in a circus
One of those women who has to walk a tight-rope
.
To fall in love with a woman
who might fall at any moment
.
And if she doesn’t fall
thousands of people clap their hands
to applaud her

The Mirror of My Heart: A Thousand Years of Persian Poetry by Women
How does someone write in a way “not imitative of the natural speech of educated men,” how might he exploit our “inability to speak in an ordinary way”? How does he get so good at describing “the banality of the banal man”?
اینطوریها فروردین ۱۴۰۳ تمام میشود. و البته در میان مراقبخودتباشهای بسیار.
Whitman was right: we are large, we do contain multitudes. There’s more than one “us” in there. When we “find our voice”, what’s really happening is that we’re choosing a voice from among the many voices we’re able to “do”, and we’re choosing it because we’ve found that, of all the voices we contain, it’s the one, so far, that has proven itself to be the most energetic.
By George Saunders
