A Shine of Rainbows
The 28th Vancouver International Film Festival started today with A Shine of Rainbows as the opening act. The Canadian-Irish film was touching and the relationship between Tomas and Maire and specially the develeopment of the relationsip between Tomas and the Maire's husband was depicted beautifully.
In addition to the charm in most of the dialogs, there were a couple of interactions that were particularly catching, including when Tomas was hiding from the other kids in the stable, and Maire, wanting him to join the kids, after saying that the kids were mean at first because they were exicted to see him, told him "Come, if you want" from a space of contentment and detachment, leaving him free to choose what he wants.
The film also beautifully mentions the power of wanting and desiring, for e.g. the tall stone statue being a wish-granter.
John Bell did a great job of playing Tomas in front of Connie Nielsen as Maire.
VIFF with over 370 films has been ranked among the top 5 film festivals in North America.

What a lovely morning, topped with fresh berries unexpectedly showing on your stroll through the green, a lovely space of warmth and wanting, a lovely message for a dear friend, and the sweetest ... نوازش that surprisingly came your after just saying hi to the two kids from that space.
What has been the impact of that on that 10ish-year old girl? Her face was lighten up like the sun.

I don't know exactly what I wanna write, but I wanna write.
It was one of those special days. Not an easy start, due to something I did last night that I know doesn't work for me, and did it anyways.
The evening was great! Once again I took a step, I got un-planned help from outside, and resulted in moments of joy and beauty, where that lovely sense of 'pull' was there. And I got a result, something I have been wanting for a while.
And then in the evening, I wanted to meet a friend for Reiki. It is going to happen.
I want time.
I feel uncomfortable when thinking of starting a new contract now, although there sounds to be an opportunity with BR that I don't want to miss. I'm
There is a missing link,
I touched it for a second when I was coming back. I am weak. I lost it quickly. It is so sweet and meaningful, and ... what is the word, real, true, moving.
خدایا کمکم کن فردا یه بار دیگه بهش برسم.

تو چادری که پشت Silk Purse Art Gallery به پا شده بود یه سری صندلی بود و از دور دیدم یکی داره حرف میزنه. یه نقاش بود که شاید workshopی داشت. وقتی رسیدم آخرش بود. داشتم یه چیزی یادداشت میکردم، یه خانمی که جلوم بود از نقاش برگزار کننده خواست که برای نقاشی ای که از Lions Gate Bridge کشیده بود (که انگار به workshop مربوط بود) یه قیمت اعلام کنه، میخواست بخردش.
برگزار کننده گفت به جای اینکار به طور تصادفی به طور رایگان میدیمش به یکی از شرکت کننده ها. بعد از همفکری درباره ی نحوه ی قرعه کشی قرار شد یه عدد رو روی یه کاغذ بنویسه و شرکت کننده ها هر کس یه عدد بگه، هر کی عددی که میگه اونی باشه که روی کاغذ نوشته بود نقاشی مال اون میشه.
از جلو و کنار شروع کرد و از تک تک شرکت کننده ها یه عدد میپرسید. هر کی یه عددی میگفت و برگزار کننده میگفت "نه". 20 نفری بودن. هیچکس عددی که نوشته بود رو نگفته بود. رسید به آخر های چادر که من نشسته بودم و یکی دو نفر دیگه.
یکی دو نفر مونده بود به اینکه همه گفته باشن یکی گفت 13، و همون بود، عددی که رو کاغذ نوشته بود 13 بود و طرف نقاشی رو برد.
بعد فهمیدم خانمی که نقاشی رو برد همون کسی بود که دنبال نقاشی بود و خواسته بود که روش یه قیمت بذاره.
