A very wizened old woman beckoned me down a dusty alley to her shelter, which was a hut made of cloth over sticks. I thought she might be admonishing me as her waving was quite severe.<br /><br />She invited me into the shade of her hut and served me sweet tea instead. I know only the smallest amount of Arabic, but it didn't stop her from telling me many stories as we sipped.<br /><br />After an hour, I bowed and left.<br /><br />Small gestures of warmth and humanity in a sometimes alienating world.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15148485566444804108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9716997.post-74106425081726915172007-01-15T16:14:00.000+11:002007-01-15T16:14:00.000+11:00Very nice poem.....i loved that...
