Working Class and Female in Iran

08-Mar-2010 (12 comments)
To mark international women's day I decided I should write about three Iranian women whom I came to know well when living in Iran just before Ahmadinejad's first term. The three of them worked for me as housekeepers/babysitters and my knowledge of their lives is limited to our employer/employee relationship and class differences. But we spent a lot of time together and often our talks and interactions were more intimate than those I had with women I knew socially. For whatever it is worth I thought that I should expose the lives of three very ordinary Iranian women from different backgrounds and different sensibilities. This is for them>>>

نخست: نقد معنویت محض در ایران

08-Mar-2010 (2 comments)
در تاریخ اندیشۀ ما نیز پرآوازه ترین سخنگویان معنویت جهانشمول که امروز شهرت جهانی دارند یعنی بزرگانی مانند عطار، مولوی، و حافظ نیز از درون سنت فکری اسلامی و با نقد کوته فکری های مدعیان و مفسرین آن آغاز کردند نه از موضع نفی مطلق سنت و فرهنگ دینی. و این همان راهی است در تاریخ معاصر ما نیز نو اندیشان و احیا گرانی مانند سید جمال اسد آبادی، احمد آقایف، اقبال لاهوری، و علی شریعتی دنبال کردند>>>

TISSA: I was never the class clown. I was always the quiet kid in the back who made the occasional wisecrack that made the few students around me laugh. The first time I realized I was funny was in 8th grade, in an American History class. It was one of those days right before school vacation, when the teacher knows there's no point in teaching anything because everybody's brain is already on vacation. So, she thought up a fun game for us where we learned American proverbs>>>

LOVE

Augustine

When you grow up and read this, we hope you feel our love coming your way from all parts of the world

My daughter often asks me why I talk to strangers -- the answer is, that is how I get a chance to meet my loved-ones-to-be. One of my dear friends, found completely randomly, is a woman by the name of Sarah D. I met Sarah in 2006. At the time, she sold lettuce at the Burbank Farmer's Market and we struck up a conversation over arugula and dill. One particular morning, Sarah was positively beaming. She showed me a picture of a little girl named Augustine whom she had just met in Haiti. Her love for Augustine was contagious especially when she shared her pictures ... but let me get out of the way, and let you hear Sarah's story directly from her>>>
