Heaven

Life is just a journey onto the final destination, heaven. I want to put this aside for a moment. Today you have choices to make that will be cruel or kind hurt nature or protects it, be honest or lie, swindle you neighbor or help them. So many choices, as it is said, 24-7. Just as the butterfly's wing can impact the world, what do all the choices we make impact the world, the people, nature, advancements in care of all of these and more. "His eye is on the sparrow so I know he watches me" I would venture to say a sparrow has few choices in this world. God lays down before it the things it needs, food, trees, flight, and ultimately death. There has to be fear in there but not hatred, has a parental instinct to care for the young until they too can be in the world, they have a song to sing and they use it no matter what the other birds, people, animals, think of it. They do not judge, scorn or hold grudges. They live today.

We are much more complicated than a sparrow. Our behaviors and feelings not only impact the backyard but also have a choice in every thing. Each choice has an influence on everybody in the world. Scenario: A man has a very important appointment, haven't made good choices with his time, make the choice to speed so he don't be looked upon for his poor use of time. His choice will impact on so many levels. Some of them we hear, "Why did God let this happen?” "Was it supposed to be this way?" "What happened was not deserved, was it?" And the question remains, which is at fault. Of course we would "Blame the speeding driver". But what influenced his being late? We don't know. Maybe his electricity was turned off for lack or money. Could the weather have influenced it? We do not know nor can we judge why his time was "miss-managed". Why was the appointment so important? Going to a dying friend or family, late because the appointment was so hard to face, job interview to pay for the electricity, a friend was in need before making a serious mistake, who knows?
There is no beginning to a tragedy and no end on the influence it makes on the world. The only way it is made better is by trusting God, not judging others and ultimately, saying "Thy will be done" looking to our father who loves us. A father that finds us so important and so loved that he not only gave as a rainbow as his promise to not harm us but also gave his son to save us. Not just help us, not just to be an example, not to just teach us, but also to take all the sorrow and pain the choices bring to the countless men and women.
If the chain of events is stopped by one person trusting God to provide the right choice, that is, one that is not self-centered and self-serving but God centered and God serving, as small as a butterfly's wing, can change the world.

Shahvar

. I went to Bandar Abbas a city in south of Iran, last week and met the village potters themselves. It was really fantastic! There are more than 4 villages in Hormozgan Province in which, village potters are involved in pottery. (Shahvar-Hakami-Gour band- Lashtaghan- Bastak). From among the 4 pottery villages in Hormozgan province, I could visit only 2 villages (Shahvar and Hakamy) during my short journey.
Few potters in these villages are making pottery in very old traditional style. I had interview with several village potters.

In Shahvar village, there is just one man who is making pots with a ground wheel. The wheel is similar to a big plate with a diameter about 45cm.This plate is made from row clay and rounds on a sharp wood of about 10cm. It weights about 50Kg. He makes just upper part of jug (neck) with ground wheel and the belly is made by pinching style. He makes just one form of jug, which is named “Jahleh” in Shahvar. There is a traditional kiln with fuels of wood and branch of palms. He doesn’t use any color for ornamentation. Decoration is just carving with 4 or 5 needle. Motifs are fish, moon and butterfly on upper part of jug.
