The following MP3 File is my little gift to all those who are searching for themselves in the every-day-life.
I had prepared it over a year ago.
The inspiring music is a song from the Album “Just Be – 2004″ by DJ Tiesto.
The text (declamation) is that of the Persian Poet, Hafez of Shiraz, and thus, it is in Persian.
The actual declamation is by me myself in Persian. Enjoy!!

Tiesto Music, with a blend of Hafez Poetry – Prepared by Bamshad Bob Lotfabadi
Today I spent a good ten (10) hours in Gothenburg’s Amusement Park, “Liseberg”, experiencing the thrill of about 20 different games. The best thing was that “you know the games are all safe.” So you just go ahead and yell your head out till you are totally out of energy (like I was by the end). By the end I was just smiling while taking the toughest rides and enjoying the wind in my face!!! You know… I think it’s got good lessons:
When you know the ride you are taking is “almost” 100 percent safe, you just relax and enjoy the thrill: going up-side-down, getting pushed out to the sky, taking a free-fall, going side to side in the craziest way EVA!!, the acceleration, the whole shebang. Now I said “almost safe” because after all these are man-made games with a very little chance of having something go wrong!
But in the real life, the builder is “nature”, “God” if you will. The difference between the amusement park and life is that the first is man-made, the second, god-made. The ride on the first is “almost safe”, on the second, if you know in heart, it is “absolutely safe.”
So don’t worry. Just go ahead and be as wild as you like and enjoy life while respecting its simple but hard to follow laws. The end is safe, trust me. Scream your head out, do the most exciting things, respect and be respected, love and be loved. At the end it is all safe and sound, giving you a deep and thorough appreciation of what you have passed over.
