“What you need,” my daughter said before I headed back to Saudi about a week ago, “ is a project.”
I woke up a few days ago with her words ringing in my ears. I realized
the many minutes of empty space that needed to be filled in the days ahead. She
was right. Over the last weeks in New Zealand there’d been Christmas and a
wedding to celebrate. It had been busy and fun, but now I was back in Riyadh and
it was all over.
