“I could pour my heart out to him and tell him the truth of who I was, without the fear of scorn or pity…nothing shocked him, he had been there and done that and was now floating the lotus position. I would just pour it all out and we’d have discussions that lasted for hours. He’d listen and engage me. He’s scaled higher and travelled farther than I ever would…and yet, when we spoke, he made he feel like we were equals.”
Omar Tufayl
