This particular Nowrouz carried with it a greater deal of importance, to me and many more Iranians. Recent times have been difficult. One of the greatest wars in modern history is taking place in my homeland, where tens of thousands of people were massacred by an occupying deathly regime earlier in January, where digital darkness roams and no news come out; where the dearest of people to many others and me, parents and family and relatives and friends live.
Despite all this, I could eventually find the thoughtwaves that sparked more hope and light in me; through ancient knowledge, wisdom, philosophy and celebrations that could never be erased from books and scripts, nor of minds and hearts. This time I tried my best to set an inspired traditional haft-sin table and in the end it did turn out the way I wanted it to.
Once the burst of excitement and short-lasted happiness of spring’s arrival passed, I hoped as seasons change, a new season of peace and calm, prosperity and opportunities can also start in Iran soon.
May light and truth prevail.
