Bahar ra tosif konid!

بجز وصف دهان نیست هستش...... نمی‌آید حدیثم بر زبان هیچ

I had the same problem as Ahmadreza had with 'Ensha' at school… I also had the same problem with students who I asked just to write about whatever they liked because what they liked was to be told what to write about: "eexcuse me vaat ees de title?"!
So, here we are just to write about what we want but the difference between what "we want" here and in my classes is that I asked the students just to write about what their "I"s liked but here we need to write about my "I" as one of the HAMRAHAN.

It may be surprising but I suggest one of those 'Ensha' topics as the THEME of the writings of HAMRAHAN in this season: "Bahar ra tosif konid"! In our school days Bahar was supposed to be described in terms of fixed "always-the-same" and "for-everyone-the-same" facts. Perhaps that's what made it boring and nonsensical but there is much more to TOSIF! Our tosif of BEINGs could mean WHAT, WHO, and HOW as well as IS, and AM, and ARE (not in the sense of school grammar, of course!) as we really see them, not as we are expected to...

چون مرا زین بهار بویی نیست...... چه کنم وصف بوستان بهار؟

To begin our writing journey we can think and write about whatever we want, but as one of the HAMRAHAN, we need as well to see our community's WHATs, WHOs, and HOWs with all the AM, IS, and ARE! This will insha'llah give us a chance to write about "what we want" but at the same time to consider our HAMRAHAN who are writing about the THEME of BEING and not to write bout "whatever I like"!

حسب حال






Salam
Wait! Wait!... this is too joyful……
I have not stopped yet… I am in the sky giving my hands to the stars… I am in Karoon river hugging the wild flow of water… I am running with the free wind whispering the way in my ears .....
I LOVE WRITING
Thank you Weeping-willow, Miniature, Seeny, Atyieh, Haji, Paisley, Passion, Rend, 100zaban, loud, nebula…

… and these are your Hamrahan in our new LANGUAGE learning journey of Hamrahan-e Noor.
In this new journey we try to see as 100zaban does,
that

most of all
there is definitely
something very spiritual
about putting words down in the form of writing
…and we want
to start rewriting
what has already been written by God in nature.

During our 40 weeks in the coming four seasons we'll be WRITING
Being
T i m e
Knowing
Spa c e s
Wondering
Want ing
Passion
in our literal trips as part of our learning journeys… and also through a so-called MAJAZI space but we do hope that
... "نوری "که در اینجاست حقیقت، نه مجاز است

1, 2, 3 It is a test

I’m really glad, because I’m writing again. I haven’t bogged since over 1 year ago in my individual weblog.
I spent a lot of time to choose a new nickname. I think it is suitable at this time, but maybe change it.

اول دفتر

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم
الله ولی الذین آمنوا یخرجهم من الظلمات الی النور
!نی رند تمامیم کزین رند وشانیم
Salam
I am a member of the circle of HAMRAHAN who are exploring LANGUAGE and LEARNING as what life is all about.
I do hope that through our honest and hopeful challenges in this new Majazi community we would be able to move from Majaz towards Haghighat!
I would be eagerly looking forward to reading what you have to tell our community about yourselves and about our emerging learning journey!
