1/4 I was reading the opening passage of #Rumi’s great epic-length #Persian#mystical#poem the Masnavi, at the end of the #opening night two weeks ago. On my birthday I’m whispering those couplets to myself - couplets I learnt sometime in my childhood

The sky grew dark as the raven’s wing.
The night-singing bird that sang with my heart
Flew away, and this nest was left empty.
The gazelles vanished into the night’s vast plain—

My night, stripped of stars, became a graveyard night.
Yet in my heart still glimmered the light of a distant star.
At times, lightning took aim at me;
At times, hail lashed me like a whip.
Upon my head, the crow built its nest;

آه از آن رفتگان بیبرگشت
شبم از بیستارگی، شب گور
در دلم پرتو ستارهی دور
آذرخشم گهی نشانه گرفت
گه تگرگم به تازیانه گرفت
بر سرم آشیانه بست کلاغ
آسمان تیره گشت چون پر زاغ
مرغ شبخوان که با دلم میخواند

آهوان گم شدند در شب دشت
آه از آن رفتگان بیبرگشت…

I hope that means their mother found the little Goldfinch and took it to safety. I was later told that even if I’d called the RSPB, they probably wouldn’t have come out to rescue a fledgling. What would you have done? Have you ever rescued a bird? 6/6
Yesterday morning, in my usual rush to get into the car, I noticed a little fluffy creature. From a distance, I thought it was just a pile of dried leaves. But only about 15 cm to the right of my back tyre lay a tiny, squashed ball of fluff. I panicked. 1/6
I thought about that little fledgling all day. Had the crows found them? Had their mother managed to save the survivor? When I got home, before parking the car, I checked the area straightaway. There was no sign of either of them. 5/6
اینجا از بهرام خان بیضایی پرسیده شد ، آلترناتیو شما چیست ؟ به هر حال سابقه و تجربه ای دارید ، آیا آلترناتیوی برای ایران معرفی میکنید؟ ایشان اینگونه پاسخ داد :
آگاهی اول هر تغییر است ، امید فقط به اونه من امید دیگری نمیشناسم، تمام حرکات جمعی غیر آگاه نتیجه شون چیزی جز اتفاقاتی که میشناسیم نخواهد بود ، بنابراین بهتر است خودمون گول نزنیم که نجات دهندهی خواهد اومد ، نجات دهنده ای نخواهد اومد نه از بالا نه از پایین نه از چپ نه از راست نه از کرات دیگه نجات دهنده ای نخواهد آمد .......
