Ibrahim Muhammad Heshaam Jaaber

The Desert. The Shepherd. The Sacrificial Lamb! Ibrahim Muhammad Heshaam Jaaber

Ummi sang the song of Sarah for the son she never planned to bear, but soon recalled Hagar's prayers- when the desert showed no life was there... Manhood. Wisdom: is the long migration of a mother's words, overcoming the hot-tempered nature of a stubborn son, and finally arriving at fertile soul. I: was the Sahara at fifteen years old. Ignoring the writing in the sand, as if I didn't understand, when Arabic is the language of my heart-land. But growing up meant crossing the desert- and I was 'far' from a man.
