THE FALL OF ICARUS, WHEN A MAN TRIES TO REACH THE SUN

MESSAGE FROM THE MIRROR. That’s one of the illusionary sources of misunderstandings about why the right and left are visible opposite in front of the mirror. Illusion? Means the opposite of the right-left is equal to the top down? Continue reading

SPEECH OF THE BIRDS

The story of the birds led Hoopoe looking for Simorgh (King of birds). The flight of birds continued as well. For the sake of appearing in the way, but the goal is invisible. Feel the pain of suffering, but the healer does not exist. At that time the wind blows “riches,” and humble the heavens into the earth. Continue reading

Warm greetings, until another chance to bring together, friend. In fact I can not call love for you, your never became my lover. Thousands of my thanks for you. Continue reading

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

She is the embodiment of indifferent, indifferent nature. Her face was as calm as the lake of unexpected depth for anyone.

THE ODE OF A BACHELOR

Oh, God only you are able to know the spirits of the souls of all your creatures, including me who was at the end of this youth. Dying without a human love and only the love and affection of the god who feeds me. Continue reading
