<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Walking in the rain through the silence of the cemetery, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
she secretly hoped for it to rain once in a while after she is gone,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
so her headstone, which she also secretly hoped to be of black granite, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
could shine with the rain. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She could never afford to have granite countertops in her kitchen, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
but she secretly decided to save enough to get herself a black granite headstone or maybe gray!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She continued her walk. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And the trees kept the secrets of granite and rain through the silence of the cemetery.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Splash water on a red mud brick wall.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Press your face on the wall and take a deep, deep, breath!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Next to the scent of fried garlic and raspberry jam, </span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">rows of red mud bricks forming a wall in my lungs. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">There was a window next to her weaving loom.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Her bed was hidden behind the loom.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Her tender figure walked religiously around the tiny apartment,</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">telling stories of a house woven out of her tireless fingers;</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A three-story house my grandfather built and her woven carpets paid for, brick by brick.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I remember that house with its red mud brick walls, two Iwans, six rooms, and a tiled blue pool that chilled our watermelons in the summers of Tehran.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I remember that garden.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">On Fridays, my uncle with the garden hose sketched our silhouettes on the brick wall; our boney silhouettes evaporating, leaving an earthy trace in our lungs. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">She walked around her tiny apartment telling stories of witty princesses, fairies and genies, lions and mice, and in between the charm of her stories and our afternoon tea, she tied the knots of her memories into her latest carpet.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I did not see her last walk around her tiny apartment;</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I was not there when her last carpet was cut off the loom;</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I did not hear her last story.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In my lungs, a wall is being made of red mud bricks,</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">She is still walking</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Walls are always mightier than windows, </span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Walls surround; windows release.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">There, between the scent of a wet mud brick wall and the magic of her stories, is a window with tulips on its frame.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Her weaving loom is resting in the light.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">*In the memory of my grandmother, our Aziz. Happy International Women’s Day! Happy March 8th!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">The massacre occurred quietly on a Saturday</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;"> afternoon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">Sunshine </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">deceived us into the yard.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">There, they were, with their tender existence; unnoticed! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">Fixing after a long forgotten storm did not take long; </span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">a couple of beers went quickly in between a nail-and-hammer argument. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">And all through, there they were, in the corners of a modest rectangular garden.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">The massacre occurred quietly on a Saturday</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;"> afternoon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">The soil remained under my finger nails through Sunday; </span></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">a stain of a massacre in the name of order. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Myosotis were gone, along with the other unwanted plants; weeds! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Later that afternoon I remembered; Myosotis are also called </span><i>forget-me-nots</i>!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A tragic irony; </span><i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">forget-me-not</i><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">How a tender existence is lost to the memory of our massacrous hands.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today the funeral ceremony of Seamus Heaney was held in his native Bellaghy. Heaney's poetry walks that rough path on the edge of quotidian events and mystical recognitions. One of my favorite passages in literature comes from his poem <i>Lovers on Aran</i>.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"<i>Did sea define the land or land the sea? </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Each drew new meaning from the waves' collision.<br />Sea broke on land to full identity."*</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And of course my personal favorite for his forwardness and wit is this short piece which was written as an objection to being included in an anthology of British poetry in 1982. He recognized himself as Irish. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"<i>Be advised my passport's green.
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>
No glass of ours was ever raised
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>
to toast the Queen.</i>" </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Seamus Heaney was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995 "for
works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles
and the living past". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<i>* Lovers on Aran</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>The timeless waves, bright, sifting, broken glass,<br />Came dazzling around, into the rocks,<br />Came glinting, sifting from the Americas<br /><br />To posess Aran. Or did Aran rush<br />to throw wide arms of rock around a tide<br />That yielded with an ebb, with a soft crash?<br /><br />Did sea define the land or land the sea?<br />Each drew new meaning from the waves' collision.<br />Sea broke on land to full identity.</i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
How I find my self trapped in my ever-reducing sensations, which are
damaged by the conditions of my existence, I do not know. And why is it
that way, does not matter anymore.It should have never mattered.
Perhaps one day I will figure the ways in which the daily matters of
existence operate. And I fear that day, for my days will be the most
tedious after the figuration happens; when there are no more questions
left, there will be no motivations to continue one's existence. I will
consider myself 'learned' if one day I find the kind of conviction that
Rilke displayed in his letters to "the young poet," the dear Mr. Kappus,
for he despite his dilemmatic struggles writes: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"But
every thing that may someday be possible for many people, the solitary
man can now,already, prepare and build with his own hands, which make
fewer mistakes.Therefore, dear Sir, love your solitude and try to sing
out with the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far
away, you write, and this shows that the space around you is beginning
to grow vast. And if what is near you is far away, then your vastness is
already among the stars and is very great; be happy about your growth,
in which of course you can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with
those who stay behind; be confident and calm in front of them and don't
torment them with your doubts and don't frighten them with your faith or
joy, which they wouldn't be able to comprehend. Seek out some simple
and true feeling of what you have in common with them, which doesn't
necessarily have to alter when you yourself change again and again; when
you see them, love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent
toward those who are growing old, who are afraid of the aloneness that
you trust. Avoid providing material for the drama, that is always
stretched tight between parent and children; it uses up much of the
children's strength and wastes the love of the elders, which acts and
warms even if it doesn't comprehend Don't ask for any advice from them
and don't expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being
stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love
there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far
as you wish without having to step outside it." [ Rainer Maria Rilke,
Letters to a Young Poet, Worpswede, near Bremen, July 16, 1903.]</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe one day I will find such conviction, but for now, it is time for me to do the"heart-work!"*</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
*"The
work of the eyes is done. Go now and do the heart-work on the images
imprisoned within you." [Rilke, Wendung (Turning Point)]</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The murmur of the moments past, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
And the resistance of the vanishing memories, </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>I am like a flag in the center of open space.<br />I sense ahead the wind which is coming, and must live<br />it through.<br />while the things of the world still do not move:<br />the doors still close softly, and the chimneys are full<br />of silence,<br />the windows do not rattle yet, and the dust still lies down.<br /><br />I already know the storm, and I am troubled as the sea.<br />I leap out, and fall back,<br />and throw myself out, and am absolutely alone<br />in the great storm.</i><br />

Rainer Maria Rilke</div>

A short walk;<br />
A short walk around the kitchen,<br />
A short walk around the yard,<br />
A short walk around the neighborhood,<br />
A short walk around the classroom, <br />
A short walk that was stretching, exhausting, and seemingly- never-ending, <br />
It was a short walk around the year that surrounded the entity that is often called <i>"life"</i>!<br />
<br />
<br />

The impossibility and the possibility of lost sensations! </div>

<!--StartFragment-->
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
She was uncomfortable the first time she walked into my
office. It was the second week of the classes. I knew her face, but for names,
as always, I had to check the class roster. She was tall with strong arms. Her
hair was short and silky. Her eyes… I wish I remembered. I wish I looked at
them better and for longer. She was a soldier. Four years in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Honorably discharged. She knew three languages. She was an athlete; best at
volleyball.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>I remember the first thing she said, after I asked her to
take the seat next to me. In a low voice she said, “I have never done this
before.” I wasn’t sure what she meant. She sat there. She didn’t offer more
explanation. I asked, “ Do you mean you never had an art course before?” She looked
at me and said, “Ya, I did drawing in school. But not art history. We didn’t
need to talk about art.” I understood. I said, “I know, it is strange to talk
about art and how you feel about it.” She said, “I like to. But I don’t know
how.” I told her how this class will help and that she should come to my office
hours if she needs any help with the course.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
She was hardworking. She stopped by my office almost every
week. She sat in the back of the class. Never volunteered any answers. On exam
weeks she looked more uncomfortable. Sometimes I could see her frustration. She
liked Renoir. I saw her joking once with other students outside the class, but
the moment she noticed me she swallowed her laughter. She was too polite with
me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I am trying to remember as much as I can of her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was thirty-two last autumn. Two
days a week for sixteen weeks! That’s the memory pool I am fishing into.
Sixteen weeks! It may be enough for an introductory course to the visual arts,
but it is not long enough to know a student and definitely not enough to know a
soldier!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once she came to the office with a male friend; a classmate
perhaps form her other courses. He was not in my class. He said hi and stood in
the corridor near the exit, while she discussed her paper topic with me. She
chose to write on Lorenzo Lippi’s painting, <i>St. Agatha</i><span style="font-style: normal;">. I liked her paper topic. She left the office. I did
not look to see if she held hands with the guy. Now I wish I did. I don’t know
if they were together. She once mentioned something about her ex. I don’t
remember.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She got ninety on her
paper. I could see how she was engrossed by Lippi’s ability in capturing a look
of innocence and determination within a playful setting. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the last day of our class I had my climbing shoes with
me, planning to go for bouldering after the exam. She saw the shoes. She liked
climbing. We talked about going for a climb in spring. It was just a talk. One
of those talks that never actualizes and we both knew it. That was the last I saw her. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I wish I knew what was her favorite color. I wish I knew her
favorite book, her favorite song, her favorite movie. I wish I knew her. She was
a soldier. She survived the war. I am trying to remember as much as I can. I want to remember everything about her; a student, my student, who passed away three days ago in a car accident. I wish I could remember the color of her eyes! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
