At the Mirror

Since I was 23 years old I always felt the same till now
24 January 2012 was a very ordinary day
having dinner with The Cuban ambassador at his home
it was a nice social gathering, talking about art, music and politics
I drove home while it was raining
suddenly I was hit by a car from the left side
and pushed to the right, I crashed badly another car
and was about to kill two innocent people
next day I woke up with a strange feeling.. unknown to me
The day after.. I recognized it

I BECAME AN OLD MAN

The irreparable did not happen. That is a relief. Life is indeed filled with the unexpected...

Life is full of unexpected events some good and some not so good - I am glad you and no one else was hurt! Thanks for sharing the experience.

Thank God your are well and safe.. you're our dearest friend, brilliant artist, handsome man. The feeling of having grown old is understandable but I am sure your essence hasn't been touched. You're still our Mostafa, my B :)

I was looking at you, Mostafa and noticed a very sad expression on your face. I hadn't read the story yet. Hope everything is oké with you and the other people involved and am waiting for the next smiling face of the still young and talented Mostafa. Wish you all the best my friend, Marjan V

A well-shot SP of a man whose years hardly show at all. Take good care of yourself, Mostafa.

I hope everything is OK with you. I don't believe you, regards that change. You are still playing....

Glad you are safe and this is an awesome SP. Take care, Mostafa.

This is a picture, not just a likeness, but a Portrait that tells a story, not many people understand the difference. Mostafa, one moment you were on top of the world having been awarded The Black & White Spider Fellowship. The next day you became close to death. That is frailty of our existence. We thank God that your time has not yet come and creative days are not at an end. So many people appreciate your exceptional talents.

Oh my... those things don't happen every day... happily no one died, judging from your story. This is so important. Still I won't agree with your last statement! :)

Glad you're alright and no one was seriously hurt. And remember, age is just mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. I can say this because I'm an old man too! :)

Horrible story, but a powerful one...!
