جهان باقی

خیال انسان که به سنگ می کوبد و به صحرای روبرو که در آن سو باغی است و در آن آبی روان.

انسان بیچاره از ناچاری و درماندگی به خیال پناه می برد و آرزوهای مغزِ ساده ی تکامل یافته را راهگشای حیاتش می کند.

خیال که می کنم، خوشحالم از آن و در همان دم نگران، که همه خیال است. خیالم, جهانی است ناتمام و ناکامل. جهانی

ناکامل و نادرست که تمام نقص است و بیم لحظه. جهانی نادرست با حسابِ غلطِ ایام. حسرتی همواره در راه که به پایان

برسانم آن را، این را و مدام بر سر می کوبم که غافل، دم را ندانستی و راهیان را یکی پشت دیگری به خاک سپردی.

از بامدادِ پیدایش، سودای خلقت را بر گوش و بر جانت فرو می کنند که شگفتا چه تناسبی است حیات را، ببین که چه زلال

است آب و چگونه به پایین جاری است!

خود را ناقص می پندارم که لابد در دیده ی من لکنتی است که نه تعادل را می بینم و نه ریاضی را. باز به پیرامونم رجوع می

کنم تا شاید آن همه وعده ی عدالت را در هندسه ی حیات کشف کنم و باز همان بود که بود…

به هر صورت زمان مرا قانع کرد که در دیده ات نقصی است و بیماریت لاعلاج. به ناچار به خیالم رجوع می کنم که در آن جا

عیبی نیست اگر نادرست باشد، ناکامل باشد و بی اساس. حق را و عدالت را به اهل معرفت سپردم و مغز تکامل یافته را

بازی اش دادم، که دیگر خیال را جان من گله ای نباشد.

در این جا جای خوشی است که از اهل معرفت و کاردان و خلقت شناس خبری نیست. پس خیال را در هندسه ی افکارم این

گونه ترسیم کردم. جهان را آن گونه که به غلط دیده ام و آن گونه که خواسته ام ترسیم کرده ام.

برای من این افعال ترسیمی است از خیالِ ناقصِ یک مغزِ تکامل یافته…

گفت و » خیالِ ناکامل در تنی دایره وار برایم معنا پیدا کرد. گریزان بودن خط ها و فرم ها در چرخه درونی دایره از هم و با هم

ناخواسته ای را آغاز کردند… « باز گفت

Eternal Life
Mind’s eye is so powerful that it can visualize a lush green garden with flowing water just
across a rugged desert.
Helpless man can do nothing but to take refuge in fantasies, exploiting dreams of his
mature mind to lead him throughout his life.
It makes me feel happy yet worried to fantasize; fantasies rapidly vanish into thin air. My
fantasy is an incomplete universe, replete with flaws and fear of the moment. It is a
wrong universe with miscalculations about life.
I have an incessant longing to finally reach my destination in life, continually blaming
myself for not seizing the day and for having to bid farewell to the departed, one after the
other.
From dawn of creation, mankind has proclaimed the harmony of life in mediocre
observations such as “Look how clear water is flowing down!”
I consider myself incomplete, for I believe I have blurred vision, seeing neither the
balance nor the mathematical calculations. Again I resort to whatever is surrounding me
to discover within the geometry of life all the promises of justice. Nonetheless, it is the
same.
Passage of time convinced me that my vision was flawed and my disease incurable.
So I need to hold on to my fantasies, where nothing incorrect, incomplete and
unfounded is considered to be a blemish.
I left the truth and justice to the wise and began to make up fantasies in my head, happy
to know that nobody could find faults with them.
This world of fantasy is an excellent place, where no one claiming to be gifted with
insight and ontological knowledge is found.
So this is how I portray the fantasy of creation in the geometry of my thought.
I am depicting the world the way I wish; I am depicting the world the wrong way I see it.
These perceptions are, to me, portrayal of an imperfect fantasy of a mature mind.
An imperfect fantasy assumed significance and meaning for me in a circular figure.
Elusive lines and forms within the circle began an involuntary “dialog” among them.

More About Tehran

Overview and HistoryTehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."Getting ThereMehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.TransportationTehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.People and CultureMore than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.Things to do, RecommendationsTake the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.Tehran is also full of museums such as:the Contemporary Art Museumthe Abghine Musuem (glass works)the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museumthe museum of carpets (!!!)Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniaturesand most stunning of all,the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.Text by Steve Smith.
