The plant that you have in your home — have you ever truly looked at it? Have you allowed that familiar yet mysterious being we call plant to teach you its secrets? Have you noticed how deeply peaceful it is? How it is surrounded by a field of stillness? The moment you become aware of a plant’s emanation of stillness and peace, that plant becomes your teacher.

“Light will someday split you open” 

― Hafez حافظ

[maleke-dande]

گفتم غم تو دارم گفتا غمت سرآید گفتم که ماه من شو گفتا اگر برآید

Hafez

goftam ghame to daaram goftaa ghamet saraayad goftam ke maahe man sho goftaa agar baraayad

I said: “I grieve from you,” He said: “Your griefs ends here.” I said: “Be my moon,” He said: “At moonrise, my dear.”

(via maleke-dande)

Be kind to your sleeping heart. Take it out in the vast field of light And let it breathe. - Hafez

TBG TRAVELS : SHIRAZ

After a 14 hour journey from Tehran, we arrive in Shiraz shattered, but curious. As the home of Persian poets Hafiz and Saa'di, we notice that the city is beautifully adorned with their couplets on walls, buildings and shutters. 

At first glance, Shiraz’s streets are dusty, and in comparison to the bright & bustly vibe of Tehran, Shiraz seems tired. We visit the tombs of Hafez and Saa'di during the day and head to the mountains in the evening, like the majority of Shiraz’s residents, for an evening of good food and beautiful views. Once isha comes in (the night prayer) we decide to check out Shah -e-Cheragh (Farsi for King of Lights) - the masjid and tomb of the 7th Shia Imam’s sons.

The beautiful masjid grounds are lit up in bright colours, with crowds of people sitting, relaxing and praying - the vibe is akin to the lively atmosphere of Medina and Makkah in the late hours. Inside the mosque, the walls glitter with mosaics. The mosques in Shiraz are equally as magnificent. From the Masjid - e - Vakil which is grand in it’s minarets and prayer hall to the famous Nasr - e - Molk where light and glass dance together to create a serene & surreal experience for the worshipper.

Shiraz is poetry.

Kiss all the spots where the elixir seeps out, it's got an addictive taste to it, finding it hard to stop. Mellow on the tongue, taste of old blood, make me wither to a dust ball, should of learned to shut up.

Music is a mindset. Every time you pick up that instrument, it’s war. You against the little notes on the page. Don’t let it beat you.

Stars have a certain cruelty about them. They are every dream, every terror, laid out across the night of the sky.

the stars are like the day-dreams of mother earth; both old and beautiful
