THE JEWELLED HEART
Crossing the Sinai Desert
to show us one of the few remaining oases;
suddenly six Bedouin children appeared from nowhere,
holding out to us large platters on which were spread the most amazing agates;
urging us to see! - see the wonders grown out of the desert’s silence:
the crystalline brain of the hidden purpose.
Later, our guide explained to us how the Bedouin people were the first people to
introduce Islam to Egypt
the Bedouin boy
splits the rock for us
shows its jewelled heart

I will be back too. The internation flair of this one is very interesting.
