writings from the middle east

ABOUT ME

I'm a writer and traveler enjoying my first trip through the Middle East, and so far, it's been wonderful...

PHILOSOPHY

"No wise fish would go anywhere without a porpoise." "Wouldn't it really?" said Alice, in a tone of great surprise. "Of course not," said the Mock Turtle. "Why, if a fish came to me, and told me he was going on a journey, I would say, 'with what porpoise?'" "Don't you mean 'purpose'?" said Alice. "I mean what I say," the Mock Turtle replied. [Alice Through the Looking Glass]

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing? Climbing entire sections of the Great Wall of China in minus 22 degree temperatures. It was cold, but the blue sky radiated off the snow like nothing I have ever seen.. spectacular.
