The Moment of Encounter

The Moment of Encounter - Parastoo Ahmady - Soheil Faghih Nasiri

Aida Shahghasemi - Beman

The squirrel survives the winter not because it remembers every hiding spot, but because it gathered so much that even forgetting most of its stash leaves it with enough to get by. From this, we can learn a valuable lesson about generosity. The key is to give so much love, kindness, and compassion that even if much of it is forgotten or lost, there is still an abundance left. The nuts the squirrel forgets are not truly lost; they become new trees, enriching the world for all. In the same way, our small acts of kindness can grow and flourish in ways we may never see, yet they make the world a more beautiful and hospitable place.

This idea also has a profound spiritual depth. 

The squirrel doesn't know where each nut is, and similarly, we don't have to know the exact outcome of our actions. The pure, joyful act of giving is what truly matters. We don’t need to know if our smile will make someone's day or if a small act of charity will change a life. It is enough to make the gesture. This is a form of spirituality that isn't tied to any dogma, but to the simple, raw power of love and giving.

The wind sings a tune through the yellowed grass,
I watched the little squirrel hide its winter hoard,
We also run around as the seasons pass,
But it forgot its plan and forgot so much more.

A few seeds are enough for us to survive,
A few forgotten deeds to keep the heart warm.
The rest will grow when we are no longer alive,
A chorus of oaks, a song in the passing storm.

I gave you smiles I no longer remember,
I offered you words that were soft and low,
They were given freely in the long, wild September,
And they weren't meant to come back, I just let them go.

A few seeds are enough for us to survive,
A few forgotten deeds to keep the heart warm.
The rest will grow when we are no longer alive,
A chorus of oaks, a song in the passing storm.

Maybe the world does not need to be perfect,
With a heavy heart and a knowing mind.
It is enough just to be part of the effect,
To leave a little beauty for others to find.

Yes, a few seeds are enough for our spirits to live,
And the forgotten deeds will shape the new world.
The richness is not in the receiving, but to give,
So let us go on, with our little stories unfurled.

دست‌هات بلندترین شعرهای جهانند
انگشتات نازک‌ترینِ شعارها
چشم‌هات مثل قنات، به عمق زمین راه دارند

با تو هوای تهران تمیز است
شاعرها در خیابان تو زیادند
اتوبان‌ها کوچه‌های باریکند
قلب تو ایستگاه تمام قطارهای دنیاست
