My Heritage is Yours
My Heritage is Yours
My name remains
No better than yours,
If I elevate it at your cost,
My heritage remains
No more prestigious than yours,
If I elevate it without elevating yours,
For my heritage is yours!
It was not me who built the castles,
Sawed the tapestries, composed the music,
Brought about the revolutions, and inventions,
But our fellow humans.
It was not me to create the literature,
But our fellow humans,
Of my nation,
But of your soul,
Of my name,
But of your thoughts.
What waste of energy
To show you off my glory,
If my glory is a glory
When compared to the weak!
What waste of time
To show you off my heritage of nation
If my heritage has been
Created for the sake of mankind.
My heritage is yours,
My name is yours,
From the individual to another,
To a nation, to mankind.
My heritage is yours,
The literature, monuments and arts,
It is your presence that
Gives meaning to my presence,
It is your life
That gives meaning to my life!
Lida Sherafatmand
is a painter/artist and teaches Art to children in schools.
The main themes of her paintings are Human Rights and Peace.She says" Painting, like any other branch of the arts, is a calling, a way of life. It is a vocation to observe beauty and to capture it in a picture by means of some paint and a brush. It is realized in the creation of or co-creation of a beautiful picture that can touch, and move other human beings.
A true work of art reflects the soul of the artist who creates it, and the aesthetic
experience of the viewer, on taking in the work of art, sterns from his/her inner being too.
Thus through the work of art a deep exchange takes place, a unique sort of interplay.
One could even speak of an inter-communication which is universal, since it transcends language barriers, cultural, and even historical differences, since works of art created centuries ago may still appeal to and be appreciated by persons living today.
