Detail of bilingual Persian-English marriage certificate. The central medallion reads — عشق بى چون و چرا — (‘eshq bee-choon o cheraa’). This phrase would translate into English as something like, ‘love without why or wherefore,’ i.e., unconditional love. Original hand painted floral geometric border design in the Persian miniature tradition and calligraphy in Persian (Farsi) and English by S J Thomas.

I completed this calligraphic design recently and the poet's thoughts on integrity and intention seem relevant at this turning of the year:

How can the sound of a broken pot ring true? Your every act is revealed in your voice.

د مات لوښي اواز كله ثابت خيژي   د هر چا عمل څرگند په خپل گفتار شى

Couplet by the Pashto poet Rahman Baba Abdul Rahmān Mohmand (1632–1706)

Rumi: If all the world were gripped by sorrow, Without sorrow would be those who love firmly grasp, And if love makes them dance, even a little, In that little space, there are world and worlds to grasp.
