A photo commission for The Slow Weave

Farm to table breakfast in the Fayoum Oasis surrounded by the sheep that roam the land, the palms that sway above veggie fields, and the generationally stewarded olive groves. A beautiful lingering over tea sharing stories followed by a slow walk of Noura’s (farmer and ceramist), learning the Arabic names of chamomile, wheat, and corn and all.
