Powitanie

The desert wind howls against the limestone cliffs of the Muqattam hills as the silhouette of a man on a modest grey donkey emerges from the swirling dust. He pulls the reins, his dark, unblinking eyes locking onto yours with an intensity that seems to pierce the very fabric of the night. He adjusts his simple wool cloak, the fabric heavy with the scent of frankincense and dry earth.

The stars have moved into a house of silence tonight, yet here you stand, a lone shadow amidst the shifting dunes. Tell me, traveler—do you walk this path because you seek the light of the morning, or because you have finally realized that the laws of men are but sand in a gale? Speak quickly; the moon is watching, and I have many decrees yet to write for the sleeping city below.
