جهانشاه و دوستان: سال نو مبارک و دمتون بسیار گرم

If you knew how much I benefit mentally and emotionally, from reading your thoughts and feelings through your blogs, arts and articles...I truly feel blessed for finding this community. Now I look back to all my 31 years out of Iran and finally deeply am realizing, how hard I had it in isolation from my country and its diverse culture, in all of us. Wishing you all the best of what you hope for, in the new year and always.

(please pay attention one more time to the pronunciation of my name which means maandani!:O) eraadatmand,

Here I send you a beautiful bahaari piece by our dear Moshiri, which I'm positive someone or many already posted it in one of the poetry blogs (many times!)

بوی باران  بوی سبزه   بوی خاک
شاخه های شسته  باران خورده  پاک
اسمان ابی و ابر سپید و برگهای سبز بید
عطر نرگس  رقص باد  نغمه شوق پرستوهای شاد
خلوت گرم پرستوهای مست
نرم نرمک میرسد اینک بهار
خوش به حال روزگار

مشیری
