I'm back in Iraq, locked in for another two months. The land of plenty and the land of nothing. Oil burning off night and day, an embarassment of riches in an expanse of desert which can only offer more sand for a white-dry parched mouth.
One year in. Is the experiment a success? I'm going to be happy and I'm going to find meaning, setting be damned. Even an abundance of sand and a crush of heat can't give sway to that. An idea is unbreakable so long as you will it to be. Hope only dies when I give it permission to. And I'm as stubborn as they come. The immoveable object versus the irresistible force.
