Bad Birdwatcher

Looking at birds is a key; it opens doors, and if you choose to go through them, you find you enjoy life more and understand
life better.
Predictions by means of birds is called ornithomancy. The word auspicious comes from the Latin for birdwatching.
Freud said that all flying dreams are really about sex.
Emiliy Dickinson called hope “that thing with feathers.” Birds are about hope.
We can empathize with birds, thrill at their appearance and at their song.
What makes the marvellous is its peculiar way of being ordinary; what makes the ordinary is its peculiar way of being marvellous. (Orphan Pamuk, The Black Book)

حالا یعنی باید انگریزی واست کامنت بذاریم مستر حاجی؟ من هم همون درد رو حس می کنم که اینترنت کتابخونیم رو شدیداً کاهش داده به ویژه وبلاگستان و اعتیادش! ضمن اینکه اینقدر کم به انگلیسی می نویسم و می خونم که می ترسم حتی کامنتم هم پر غلط باشه. به هر حال اینجوری هم خوبه، مشتری هستم.
