shows and graduations

[Sahand Sahebdivani]

Dear friends,

The wind did some serious blowing last night, eh? We where inside listening to magical Indian sounds, but outside rooftiles where being thrashed about. The Persian poet Forrough Farrokhzad captured it best when she wrote:

"In my small night, ah..
the wind has a date with the leaves of the trees
in my small night there is agony of destruction
listen... " *

Hopefully we don't have many of those nights, and even if we do, know that inside will be warm and nice. Have a look at what's coming up:

Thurs & Fri (Dec 3&4) / Graduation shows of Mezrab Storytelling School Students / 10 students have worked pretty darn hard to bring you a story worth telling.
