true journey is the one which is made to yourself!

I would like to share the story of the bird Simurg-Phoenix- also known as Zümrüd-ü Anka is the most important mythical bird in Persia, Mezopotemia, Anatolia, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Central Asia.
Simurg is a tale bird. It is a huge wise bird with a beautiful voice.
It has a white ring around its long neck and all colors on its feathers.
It is the sultan of the all birds and lives beyond the KAF mountain.
According to story, all birds start a big journey to find Simurg.
It is a very difficult journey with a long distance.
First the birds cross the THE SEA OF LOVE
Then they fly over the THE VALLEY OF SEPARATION
After passing THE PLAIN OF GREED, they turn to LAKE OF
JEALOUSY...
Some of the birds dive into the sea of love, some of them get lost at the valley of separation..
Some of them fell down on to plain with greed, some of them sink into the lake with jealousy..
At the end of the journey, there are only 30 birds can achieve to arrive at Kaf mountain.
However they can not find their Sultan bird Simurg..
But they just find a big mirror and see themselves at the mirror.
After 30 birds realize the magic of words..
Persian SI means "thirty"
and MURG means "bird"
and they all understand that SIMURG is nothingelse, but just them..
This journey helps the birds to find themselves...
