Oleaster Tree

By Bahar Taghiani

"Oleaster Tree" is a reflective and deeply emotional tale about the delicate balance between living in the present and being drawn into the labyrinth of our thoughts. Through a series of vivid, fragmented memories-cooking, playing the bagpipes, riding a horse-the protagonist illustrates how our minds often wander, pulling us away from the beauty of the here and now.

Grounded in a poignant moment under the oleaster tree with their sister, the story takes a bittersweet turn as a crow takes the last oleaster from the tree, symbolizing a missed opportunity to fully savor the moment. With rich symbolism and lyrical prose, "Oleaster Tree" explores how our inner world can sometimes rob us of life's fleeting joys, reminding readers to embrace the present before it slips away. This story will resonate with anyone who has ever felt torn between reflection and action, memory and experience, thought and presence.
