Shāh Chérāgh






Shāh Chérāgh in Shiraz, Iran, is a funeral monument and mosque.

How amazing would it be to stand in a place like this!?  I imagine it would be like being inside the worlds largest cut emerald.

Emerald


The worlds largest emerald.
The world makes some crazy stuff.
It was an act of devotion. A little like writing or loving someone—it doesn’t always feel worthwhile, but not giving up somehow creates unexpected meaning over time. 

my mantra right now.

A Handful of Dust

I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

Sleep doesn't divide life into halves

The days aren’t discarded or collected, they are bees
that burned with sweetness or maddened
the sting: the struggle continues,
the journeys go and come between honey and pain.
No, the net of years doesn’t unweave: there is no net.
They don’t fall drop by drop from a river: there is no river.
Sleep doesn’t divide life into halves,
or action, or silence, or honor:
life is like a stone, a single motion,
a lonesome bonfire reflected on the leaves,
an arrow, only one, slow or swift, a metal
that climbs or descends burning in your bones.
