The present moment is the real strand of pearls in the Goddess’ hands. She helped me to put together the past and the future, from my ancestral influences to my futuristic projections, to the now; stringing the pearls one by one, together with poems, fables, and memories, to create this one true Peace Land. Today, I believe more than ever that God is the doer and enjoyer; that I do nothing. I move forward with gratitude and peace in my heart.

After the big bang and the creation of this world, each human being is a master piece once they become aware of their real value. As a seeker of truth, I went through a lot in my childhood in Iran, as well as, in my young age in Italy. And, as an older adult woman in the USA, I went through a culmination of rough times to finally learn about myself and life as a precious gift. I believe today that life is something between tragedies and hopes, desperation and good wishes, a killing duality that teaches you only one precious thing: be grateful and go beyond!
