Happy New Year

... Persian New Year, that is. It is now the year 1385. To learn more about Nowruz you can read this lovely article at Wikipedia.

I received a lovely e-mail from an Iranian man who was briefly involved with my dance group. Here's what he said:
Dear Friends,

As the Mother Nature is giving birth to the spring,
May the seeds of love grow tall,
May the clouds rain peace,
May the sun radiate compassion,
May the wisdom overcome the ignorance,
May the trees humble down fruitfully,
May the candle of life burn endlessly,
May we all dance to the rhythms of creation, sing to the spirit of all beings,
Hand to Hand,
And shout with joy,
Life is beautiful,
As one.
- from Mehrdad Shokouhi
