Authentic to the bone...with their Arabic style and the special tea pot with about 30 little oriental cups served to eight people...sitting on the floor leaning towards very clean, special and so comfortable cushions ...wrapped up by the scent 3ood .</DIV> <DIV>It wasn't just about how it looked it was about their manners, I'll claim that they were better Gentlemen than most capital cultured men i knew...their word is truly more powerful than a contract and if they trust you from the first meeting they would literally DIE for you...so powerful in their territory and the minute the older man speaks your head gets a shower of wisdom..a couple of phrases to my head :</DIV> <UL> <LI> <DIV>Whoever wants to eat Alone will not eat at all!  </DIV> </LI><LI> <DIV>Don't enter a place with your power, enter it with your friend.</DIV></LI></UL> <DIV>Of course coming out from their Bedouin tongue is totally different which leads us to the beauty and richness of the Arabic language whatever the accent is...</DIV> <DIV>The lamb feast wasn't my thing at all cause i don't eat lamb but i enjoyed the look of the feast..how they gathered around to eat and how they sit and talk...the authenticity of the tribal rituals and the beauty of being special..at first i didn't know that they felt it cause it's their lives and what would be new to that...but later on i discovered how proud they were of their genuine rooted identity and how they fight for maintaining it and forcing civilization out from ruining their style...one of them said..we are the sons of the sky and the desert...and yes...they are.</DIV> <DIV>Most people expect wisdom from old, experienced people and most people would be as impressed as i were later on last night.</DIV> <DIV>I had a meeting that by all means i wanted to attend . I should've postponed cause i really really needed a shower after the long day and i had no time to go home to clean up, change and go ..so i thought...well that is part of Me...the filthy caller and it'll be OK.</DIV> <DIV>And it was more than OK...I can frankly say i was impressed by a character that nicely glowed wisdom and tenderness...hours passed by smoothly and i was stunned to realize it was midnight on my way home :)</DIV> <DIV>Eye contact is a powerful path that leads straight to the heart and as i easily maintained that out of comfort ..one thought stressed on me..."I wish I live to see my son this way"...and i was sure that i gained one special friend.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As you can all see..it was a win/win day for me...lots of more unwriteable ( i don't know if that's a correct word ) thoughts enriched the day.</DIV> <DIV>And as usual i slept four hours only full of the day related dreams and woke up putting on my gray  business suit...here i am at work since 7:00 am writing this while having a great latte and trying to figure out how am i gonna stop the Impulsive eating and start dieting again...hmmmmm...</DIV>Wed, 05 Dec 2007 09:13:00 GMThttp://thecaller.jeeran.com/NADAHA/archive/2007/12/401191.html#commentsRasha<aroza@msn.com>AlexmaniamosaicThooooooooose people
