Freedom

Yesterday we went to a park nearby. The parks in Europe are way different than the parks in Iran. In Iran the people have to sit or walk. In Europe they can lie on the grass; women in bikinies, men shirtless. They can ride boats on the lake without being afraid of falling into the water. They can kiss under the trees and no one will ever care. They can sleep under the sun and …
This is freedom. Freedom is a word full of meanings. In some places freedom is closing the doors to music but letting humans breath. In others freedom is having a life with no remarks, no forces that tell you what to do, how to dress, or what not to write. I come from a country without freedom. That’s why I know what freedom actually is.

The first thing I think about when I wake up is coffee. I love the smell, but I mostly love the comfort it provides. It makes me forget what is happening in the outside world. It makes me feel okay. It reminds me that I am alive and that I have a lot to be thankful for.

    Hi Lili
    Take it easy. Iran always has been like that.
    There are so many other things to get involved.

    Glad your site’s back up and working. What’s the first thing you’ll do when you get back to the States? I usually have a double bacon cheeseburger unless I’m near an In-n-out Burger, then it’s a double/double with cheese and grilled onions. Sometimes I just buy a pack of hot dogs, buns, some mustard and relish and head for a riverbank. I cut a stick, build a fire and roast some hot dogs and remind myself of the carefree days of my youth. My grandmother used to take my brother and I on many hot dog roasts when I was a kid. Plus I love the sound of the river running by.
    cheers,
    Dick

    Kooroosh Ashfar writes: "Our struggle continues. Are you hearing us?." Looks like Senator Brownback hears them loud and clear. How about you out there? The Iranian authorities would rather you didn’t. More journalists arrested in…
