Confession Contribution

I read this verse under the shadow of a weeping willow for the first time, some 15 years ago while I was searching for the most beautiful creature: "و اذا سالک عبادی عنی فانی قریب"
Recapturing the moments of my life within which I could perceive my own position in harmony with my surroundings, I should confess I've always uncovered the rhymes of such harmony when the notions of time, space and people were challenged for me. Writing as the most magnificent language, at least for me, has always contributed to such challenges. As I remember, when I was a primary school student, I almost always tried hard to be heard in almost everywhere whether home or out, including school. Although I experienced so many imitations of what the others, including my older brother and Mohammadkazem who was a school friend of mine, used to use, I was still to fail. Most of the times it seemed as if I was not even to understand why the others were not interested in listening to my stories which were very much appreciated and precious for myself. One day after I'd had to carry the burden of the label of "failure" on my shoulders, which definitely I had myself chosen, I decided not to think about that winning-losing game anymore and instead to lean on what no one couldn't even imagine, at least people whom I was trying to have their attentions. I chose to write to people who would care for my stories someday and somewhere. That was one of the most enlightening journeys I've ever stepped into. At the beginning of the journey, it was really important for me to write in a beautiful and sensitive way as people who were going to read my writings, were really important for me and I loved them. It was not only the matter of those people but also the matter of where and when they would read my whole-heartedly stories. After I had written my stories for a while, I realized I had begun to live among people with a much higher sense of calmness, I was still not heard by them though and I didn't need them to be all-ears of my stories anyway.
Now, it is really stunning to see someone else, ebnossabil, love writing. Dear ebnossabil, could you please tell me why you love writing, it may Inshallah help me find myself in your writings more

salam

three nights ago my little sister - she is almost 4 years old now- was selling plane tickets for leili's city
my mother these days is reading nezami's leili and majnoon
i told her these must be so expensive
but she said no
i told her why

this is not something everyone could find everywhere
she answered me cause i am worried you may do not have the money to pay for it

we may in coming months destroy our house and build a new one a little bit taller
it was before eid
one day my father told me come and help me

at the top of the nama of our house there are three lamps
one of them has fallen down and now there is a little empty hole there
last spring it was the house of a gonjishk family
my father was going to put something in it to prevent the gonjishks from making their house there
cause if we ruin our house they will loose their house

in nowrooz he and my little sister made a beautiful small wooden house for the birds and with the help of navid hanged it from our window
it is still empty now
tonight i was telling our little star that you have to go and tell a bongahi to find a bird for living in our house
it is free
if you know someone please email me


now writing for me is like walking
every word seems to be a step
i hardly remember my feet locked to the earth
but i less hardly remember my hands locked on paper or keyboard

i remember myself many many times asking help
these people in our community have helped me

كه شمه اي زبيانش به صد رساله برآيد
i am shahed
and as quran says when i know writing i must write my shahadat كما علمني الله

maybe the sweetest moments are those which i had the chance to ask for help
يا من هو قريب غيربعيد


درخت خرمالوي حياط ما تازه برگهاش دراومدن
ميوه ها هم هستند از همين اول كار اما سبز همرنگ برگها و كوچكتر از نخود
الآن قيافه شون با اون خرمالوهايي كه تو مغازه ها مي فروشند آنقدر فرق مي كنه كه شايد باور آدم نشه كه اينها ميوه هاي اين درختند
اما قول مي دهم اگه تو آبان و آذر همديگرو ديديم رسيده ترين هاشونو براتون مي آرم تا با هم بخوريم
دعا كنيد امسال از شر آفت هاي سال پيش مصون بمونه اون وقت شايد نفري دو تا هم برسه
آخه خرمالو خيلي طول مي كشه كه برسه
ازفروردين بهارتا آخرهاي پائيز ما بعضي هاشون رو حتي تو دي بعد از شب چله مي چينيم

حتي از درخت هم كه مي چينيشون مي رسن و شيرين مي شن
مثل قندي كه تو دل آب ميشه

سلام
