 |  Look around. Let Nature nurture your Soul. I record images I sense and share them here. |

NURTURE your NATURE  Nature can nurture our writing, can nurture our soul. What is the language of Nature? And how do we learn it? We look at the natural wonders around us and do not see them, hear, taste nor smell them. They do not touch us anymore than we dare touch them. And then we wonder why we feel so dead. To breathe in and live like a child again opens the Land of Wonderment. It's still there after all these years.   |
| Dastam Begir 🇮🇷 This recording is from the Second Baha'i World Congress in 1992. I didn't go, but friends of mine were there and sang in the choir. Narges Nouhnejad Fani sings it in Farsi. I love the melody. The words are simple. Its plaintive tone spoke to me at the time, and still does. I could sing it once upon a time. 1992... a much simpler time in my life. A relatively happy time. A house where I planted gardens. Friends that visited; friends that lived with me. Refugees I helped. Wonderful neighbors. An annual picnic in August celebrating MLK's "I have a Dream" to bring folks together. Perhaps the 'bad' moments have been forgotten. It's been a long time.
