Munni,

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Re: "Most probably this article wont see the light of the day." um, the article has almost 2000 hits. Do you mean to say that people are reading it in dimly lit places?

Shar, thank you for reading the article. I will not comment on how Iranians treat their women, except to say that it was about

10,000x better before 1979. Wouldn't you agree? It is a sham, what happened to women's rights in Iran after that.

And given that it really bothered you, you might want to re-read that particular part. I believe it says something like:

"But three thousand women were killed in honor killings last year in, wait for it: Iran?

Guess again. England."

This is not so much "using Iran" as it is pointing to misconceptions about the proliferation of honor killings in Europe. I think.

Very liberating.

"...just as we are not our bodies (if we lose a finger, we still think of ourselves as us), or our feelings (feelings come and go, but we still feel we have an “us”), and our minds (our thoughts are a virtual revolving door of coming and going, yet here “we” are), nor are we our stories."

The stories are the last to let go, aren't they? How we cling! Nice article.

Erica, this is a good piece of writing. Real, and honest, without spilling over into emotionality. I get what you are facing and respect your journey. May that front step meditation be a genuine reconciliation with your old and current self.

Looks like you've put some serious thought into this, and I like that you're paying writers.

Aunt Jaquinda will love it. (Though she's really more a celebrity gossip type reader.)

I've only been back into contributing for a couple of months, (took some time to write a novel, so that happened)

I'll definitely keep submitting. Thanks for the added incentive.
