Prologue

1. Amman, Jordan ....Present Time

This is the place I call home. I have been here for a long long time, I have seen it all. It is time for me to rest and tell my stories.

The fact that life cannot be summarized by words haunts me day and night, I feel totally disadvantaged by the differences of what I feel and what I say...but the truth must be said, and it must be heard and kept in the hearts.

At certain points of my life I have truly wished that I was blind, deaf or even mad so that I would not see or hear what I have saw or heard. It is time for me to rest. Yet, what I am about to tell you is the truth as I see it... It might not be absolute or general it is just a mere perspective of a simple Arab guy traveling the world.
