Sometimes when doing a project
You need to clear your head
Stop and take a break
Ask the universe for guidance
When you’re too close
You can’t see the big picture
You can’t see the forest for the trees
You have to let silence wash over you
You need to relax and breath
Then with clarity go forward
And complete the job you started
It’s ok to pause for a while
You’ll continue with more energy

There is radio silence
The internet has been high jacked for over a month
Why does anyone need to be in touch with others after all?
Especially if they live abroad
It’s not as if people have relatives outside Iran
Why would they need to hear from each other during a war?
The internet has been high jacked for over a month
Who needs the internet after all?
It’s not as if people make a living using the internet
It’s not as if they purchase and sell merchandise
It’s like putting duct tape across someone’s mouth
Don’t they realize they need to eat and talk?
Relatives worry about their loved ones
Friends can’t be in touch
Businesses come to a halt
And why?
Because information is the most dangerous commodity during war

I don’t remember why I started to write a memoir
Everyone’s life is as interesting as mine
They have had challenges they have overcome
They have had dreams they have realized
So each of us should and could write a memoir
Only not everyone likes to write
Not everyone has the patience to go through the process
Not everyone has time
So I think my memoir is as ordinary as yours would be
But I have the time and the patience and I love to write
I hope these reasons are enough
