Faranak's Writing

Hi Sue,
You introduced the "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" song to me. I listened to it. It is very beautiful. This group pronounces words slowly and more clear than De Burgh and I can understand their songs earlier. I listened to other songs of this group like "Wedding", "The fox", "Leaving on a Jet plane" and others. "Leaving on a Jet plane" is beautiful too.
I don't know foreign singers well, so I must thank you for your good guidance.

Dear fiend, you know we have started to read Masnavi and read the first 28 lines in Nicholson version.
I have a lot of questions about the life, myself, my religious and other things like them. I had said to you we can't ask questions abut our religious and discuss about it directly and easily.
I hope that can find some of my answers in Masnavi.
T teaches this book very beautiful and very good. He explains meaning of some sentences and answers my questions patiently while he teaches.
I'm sure these classes can be better with your helps and guidance and I can improve my English, my spirit and my information with these classes.
Have a nice day.
Faranak.

Moving on in Masnavi

Hi Sue,

I have studied the first 20 lines with a number of our friends several times.  They are Fattemeh, Faranak, Sabber who was the first behind the idea of reading the whole Masnavi in classes, Maryam and Bahman who will certainly participate. It is quite likely that others join in too. 

I am delighted that you are traveling hand in hand with us.  To tell you the truth, this is exactly your presence in this lovely endeavor that has poured so much passion in us and encouraged us to read the book like this. 

I am gathering a number of short thoughts on these first lines and will put them on the site in a day or two.  These few first lines are known as the book of the Nei and it is unanimously believed that Rumi has poured the whole Masnavi into them.  We may call it Masnavi's plot or an outline of everything ahead in the book.

I was exhausted at 12 midnight.  I missed you so much that I thought I'd come and talk to you a bit before I just collpase.

Take care,
Ali
