The Fish Who Flew

The Fish Who Flew

First published as a print edition by Writers Workshop, Kolkata, India. An anthology of musings on living, loving and death. Written over the years, and through seasons of life, these are signposts to a world that we see and pass by, signposts to a reality that flows beneath the effervescence of the world, and that brings us our deepest sorrows and greatest joys. An iota of love is better than all the worlds. A morsel of lovers’ pain is better than the lovers themselves. *** If this quest is wrong and in vain, and if we die of distress from it right now, then so what? Mistakes abound in this world – add this one to the list. Attar, The Conference of the Birds, translated by Sholeh Wolpé
