پرنده ها و گربه و خانه ها
!چه صمیمی


Birds and cats and houses
How intimate!

نورهای شهر در شب

چون ستاره ها در تاریکی آسمان میدرخشند،

!آری این نشانی از زنده بودن در مرگی است که هزاره ها پیش رخ داده است





City lights at night
As the stars shine in the dark sky,
Yes, this is a sign of being alive in 
a death that happened thousands of years ago!






























اگر فرمان در دست زندگی باشد، مرا به کجا خواهد برد؟





If life were in control, where would it take me

!میتونستم یک گیاه باشم، 
ولی آدم شدم



I could have been a plant,
but I became a human!















مهارت های قدیمی که هرروز نو تر میشن

Old skills that become new every day
