I've been poring over photos of my time in the Middle East. And this photo made me laugh out loud. That night, Nabil had driven all the way to Dana Village only to discover his son Mohammed stowed away in the back. Nabil's face is so resigned...and Mohammed's face just screams "I'm a little stinker". Really Mohammed didn't want to spend one minute apart from his dad, no matter the consequences. Nabil is critically ill. My mind and my heart is there with them all. Miracle needed at this point. #mybedouintribe Update...Nabil has died. 😢

Over 16 years ago, I moved to a Bedouin village in

Over 16 years ago, I moved to a Bedouin village in Jordan because of this man, Nabil. I had met him passing through as a visitor the year before. I fell in love with the village while staying just one night at his guest house. This wacko place on the planet felt familiar to me as soon as my foot touched the ground -- like I was 'home'. I was emotional when I left the village and expressed that I didn't want to leave. He told me, "You are welcome, come stay for a month, a year, the life!" So I did. I moved there 6 months later and set up life as a nomad. My life is significantly different because of this experience. I am a better person because he opened his home, his family and his world to me. He is one of my top 10 significant people in my life...for many reasons. He is the eldest son of my 'tribe'. Ahmed and Fairouz's son, the first of my nine Bedouin brothers, the father to my sweet Hamzi and the brother to my heart, Ali. He has hosted thousands and thousands of travellers and seekers through his doors. He is a legend. And he is sick. Really sick. If there is a Christmas prayer in you, can you send it to Nabil? His brothers are gathered at the hospital, sitting in a pool of sadness, as they wait on a miracle. Life will be forever altered without Nabil wandering the desert...a little more time would be a blessing. But if it is not to be so, may there be ease granted to the depth of appreciation and love that I have for this human. ❤️
