the guess who were a wonderful canadian band in the late sixties and early seventies. they are most famous for their song 'american woman' but they had a lot of other hits. one of them is very beautiful, and very sad. i wanted to post it. it has nothing to do with my feelings for all of you. but it's something i have to post 

iim going to delete my account this weekend. i'm sorry but i have to do it. if you want to read anything by me over the next few days to know the real rosie (the real robin) you should go to my writings from last year and from this past january. i'm not too happy with my writings from the last couple of months. they didn't come from the depths of me except for some of the poems. and the things i've written this past week. i was finding my true voice again. that's why i changed my avatar, so you'd know better who I am. but circumstances conspired such that i need to leave permanently.

the political ones and on the power and potential of this website and this technology: "On War, This Website and Concession" and "I Believe in the Internet."and "Our Google Ratings." also have some important things to say for some people.

my decision is final.  i(if one could say it's even a decision). 'm sorry. ii won't be posting anymore. i expect to have my account deleted by saturday. 'll miss you all very much.

ps. actually in thinking about it there is one thing i;'d like you all to read. it's a poem i wrote a couple of months ago and blogged here. it's called "nation." the battle between ohrmazd,  the Light, over ahriman, darkness, is the central symbol. that's what i want you all to remember of me. so i'll post it now.

nation

 

you are tearing

you are tearing

you are torn in two

 

like your nation

your beautiful nation

you are torn asunder

 

there are two of you

 

and it wounds you

so you wound others

to heal those wounds

 

but the battle

that rages

must be fought in you

 

because you

only you 

can heal your nation's wounds 

 

your beautiful wounded nation

is waitng for you 

 

nation of  Haafez

of Forough  

nation of nightengale and rose

 

of koroush

bahaullah

of al-quarezmi 

and mossadegh

 

shirin ebaadi

kiarostaami

nation of you

 

your beautiful bleeding  nation

is waiting for beautiful you

 

and the final 

conflagration

must burn in you

and the forest must succumb

to the flames

 

and the Light

must triumph

over dark

it is foretold

 

new growth emergimg

far richer than ever imagined

 

trees of Faith

trees of Strength

trees of sacred Truth

 

of branches

reaching out

embracing the world with Light

 

and the time

it is now

and has always been now

it is here right here

this is your time Iraan

 

Everything is Sacred

the Sacred is You

 

 

Jaavid Iraan

I will never lose Faith in You.

dear anonymous fish,

by Anonymous rosie (not verified) on Fri Aug 22, 2008 02:18 PM PDT

you have NOTHING, NOTHING whatsoever to apologize to me for!!! I appreciate it, yes there are times I was hurt but..nothing major..it's to be expected...if apologizing to me is part of your GROWTH process then I'm glad you did it. But if it's because you feel GUILTY then throw it away. Just throw it away. I don't accept it. :O)

I have NOT left this website (my account is closed and I'm only doing last-minute clean up and maintenace now) because of ANYTHING having to do with the collective community. I keep saying this over and over but people don't BELIEVE me. It's only because of ONE person (that's all that it is...now who could that person be....? )

now fish go register yourself or at least get yourself a regular fishie name and use it regularly and start having serious conversations about constructive things that matter to you...

you'll do that for me won't you?

It has been few weeks that I wanted to apologize for those occasions that you might encounter hurtful comments from any of us for different nonsense reason such as momentary stupidity or maybe pure foolishness just to test the water...

Please look at those comments as flaw in us as commenter for loosing the ground and acting inhumane. Your smart and insightful character is more empathic, more caring and deeper human than most of us.

Be Strong & stay happy. :)

I wish you had taken a break

by Q on Wed Aug 20, 2008 01:31 AM PDT

like I suggested. A change would do you good.

But now it's "So long and thanks for all the fish." We are about to be destroyed but you always knew.

Still I hope to see you one thursday morning when it's raining heavy.

...it appears that you will not be able to delete your account afterward.  See JJ's comment in my blog.  I am so sorry.

Thanks for your post and this beautiful poem of Nation, again.

As I said before, it's sad to see you leaving, and I hope you will
reconsider your decision (or,you said it wasn't a decision ? then what
was it ?)

Just a question : Like Mazloom, me too, I don't know how to delete my account. I don't want to leave now, but last week I tried to delete my account for good, I couldn't. How do you do ? Do you ask Foad to do it ?

How is an account deleted?

by Mazloom on Tue Aug 19, 2008 12:25 PM PDT

I want to delete my account too.  How is a registered user account gets deleted?  People take what I write too seriously, after they read it and laugh about it.  After all the education they supposedly got in fine universities, and after all the books they supposedly read, and all the PhD's they supposedly received, they still don't realize that what they read might just be someone's imagination, and maybe they shouldn't take everything so literary.

I am leaving,
