COME, FRIENDS
“Come, friends.
Come with your grief.
Come with your loss.Carry all the pieces of your heart
and come sit with us.Bring your regrets
and your failures.
Bring your betrayals
and your masks.We welcome you no matter
where you come from
and what you bring.Come and join us
at the intersection
of acceptance and forgiveness,
where you will find
our house of love.Bring your empty cups,
and we will have a feast.”Kamand Kojouri
TWINS
“What can I tell you
about the alchemy of twins?
Twins are
two bodies that dance
to each other’s joy.
Two minds that drown
in each other’s despair.
Two spirits that fly
with each other’s love.
Twins are
two separate beings
conjoined at the heart!”Kamand Kojouri
“Forgiveness is a transformative act because it asks you to be a more empathetic and compassionate person, thereby making you better than the person you were when you were first hurt.”

BIRTHDAY
“Why this candle?
Why this cake?
The day of my birth

I was born
when you said, ‘Hey.’”Kamand Kojouri
SIT HERE
“Sit here,
so I may write
you into a poem
and make you
eternal.”Kamand Kojouri
