the clouds
wander for a while
they yearn to find a place
to stay forever
they keep searching
but they will never find.
this search is forever.
but then, in one moment
they stop the search
no one can see
what happened there
all they see
is the rain.
this could be fate
or just a random happening
that brings the clouds close
it’s a blessing to be there
like a heaven in skies
the fresh air
the sounds of the flowing river
the rainbow above
the smell of wet grass
like a glance of eternity
this unlikely union comes in
out of nowhere
the wind
it blows
the irony of fate comes close
the only reason that pulled them close
is now taking them apart
the gathering of the clouds
is just for a while
and then
a moment of silence
are they ready to leave?
the clouds
worry for a while
the rays of light around
whisper
“it will be fine, dear”
the clouds
cry for a while
it’s been raining for a while
as the last drop of the rain
reaches the surface of the sea
they realize
it’s not the sea that they see
but a thousand clouds
that chose to stay.
a quiet noise
whispered
it’s not the end
it’s just the beginning
the Queen showed up
the King shall return
- I remember launching Apollo 17 took about less than 9 months. What were you doing during this year?
- I had a lot to do. Most of the work didn’t make it to this page. The first version of this page was supposed to include the first public beta of Trajectory. In the final release, I changed my mind. I removed the whole Trajectory from this page. Apart from this, I had to redesign many parts of this page, as they didn’t feel the way they should.
- What was that gathering of the clouds?
- In technical terms, a side project for Trajectory. It’s a part of a bigger plan. It’s supposed to create dynamic “shows”. The first release of this page had several shows beside the one you saw, like “Paradise”. It was too much for this single page. I chose to keep it simple. I removed the rest. The next version of this page was supposed to bring a personalized experience. As you see, I changed my mind again. I am planning to release them in the new website.
- What is Trajectory?
- A project that is considered closed-source for now. It is aimed at bringing a higher level of communications to web. The details cannot be discussed yet, but as it gets ready, the core Trajectory will be released as an open-source project here.
- Why Trajectory is not open-source from the start?
- Defining the target market and the distinctive purpose of this project is something that should be done before releasing the source. Like the Atom project, the core will be released after I get a well-defined version.
- Is Trajectory a solo project?
- The answer is yes and no. It all started with a joint-work named Memento with Sadjad Fouladi. After that I rewrote the whole trajectory from scratch. I used a different method using CSS3 animations. It was a flexible code, but it was hard to use it. As sadjad told me, I needed to start clean. So, I started again, this time I tried to keep it simple as possible. During the last year, I have removed more lines from the code, than I have added to it. Till now, it’s been almost a solo project, but I am considering to change it.
- Can I contribute to Trajectory?
- Definitely. After I release the core source on github, you may give pull requests. If you keep giving good pull requests, you will be added as a contributer to this project.
- In what fields would you expect contributions to Trajectory?
- The core Trajectory needs developers with proper knowledge of networking. Web Designers expert in HTML5/CSS3 can help with the presentation part. UX Designers would help the interface part. Music Composers, Graphic Designers would help the side project. If you are proficient in any of these fields, you can be a great help to Trajectory when it gets launched.
- I just saw the copyright notice below. Are you against contributing to the open-source community?
- I deeply admire the open-source community. The copyright notice is just there for two reasons. The license I had for some stocks didn’t allow me to let the viewers of this page reuse them. Furthermore, the contents you see, were soley created for this page. This means I am not going to reuse them even for creating my new website. The copyright notice is just for keeping the originality of the work. I will keep contributing to the open-source community for sure.
