Sam, your beautiful, descriptive writing brings back long ago memories of my Middle East years. And yes! Petra is wondrous! Exactly as I remember it. I rode on a very gentle horse with other group members also on horseback. The narrow pathway into Petra suddenly opened wide, and we beheld a breathtaking city carved from stone. And yes - “Those are the moments…”
These vignettes are lovely, Sam! I've been waiting for you to write about Petra, and as I expected you described it beautifully. (And "Horse with No Name" is one of my favorite songs from the '70s. What perfect timing.) I also think your descriptions of your life with your dog are both touching and hilarious.
Beautiful Sam! And, your tale of puppy vs vegetables made me chuckle. I, too, used to have a mischievous little pup with a penchant for green beans and tomatoes. Bless him.
Sam, you are such a beautiful writer 🥰 As for the veggie patch, raised beds? Nets? Maybe a few jalapeño plants on the edge for deterrence?
Thanks for sharing! I find it’s the sounds of the muezzins of old Cairo that are mystical - transcending our spirit into a different realm.

Let joy exist in one place… beautiful piece, Sam. And Boo!

Petra and Amman look stunning. I expect you’ll remember that day for the rest of your life 🖤
Petra sounds amazing! I would love to visit there one day.
