Baking local bread from local flour over fire, by: Shawkat Wazeinab

In the rugged embrace of the mountains, where the air is crisp and the landscape is painted with the hues of nature, lives Shawkat, a resilient nomadic woman, alongside three spirited children: Zainab, Behnam, and Dariush. Their days unfold in a rhythm dictated by the sun and the seasons, each moment a testament to their strength and unity in the face of life's challenges.
Shawkat, the matriarch, embodies the spirit of the mountains. With her weathered hands and wise eyes, she navigates the terrain with grace, teaching the children the ways of their ancestors. Her knowledge of the land is profound; she knows where to find the sweetest berries, the freshest herbs, and the safest paths through the rocky crags. Each day, she gathers the children around her, sharing stories of their heritage, instilling in them a sense of belonging and resilience.
Zainab, though separated from her husband, is a pillar of strength for her four children. Her heart is heavy with the weight of her circumstances, yet she finds solace in the laughter of her kids and the bond they share. She often reminisces about the days when her family was whole, but she channels her energy into nurturing her children, teaching them the importance of love, perseverance, and community. Together, they explore the mountains, collecting wildflowers and learning to identify the sounds of nature, from the rustle of leaves to the call of distant birds.
Behnam and Dariush, the younger boys, are full of curiosity and mischief. They spend their days climbing trees, racing each other through the meadows, and discovering hidden nooks in the rocky landscape. Their laughter echoes through the valleys, a reminder of the joy that can be found even in the simplest of moments. Zainab often joins them, her heart swelling with pride as she watches them embrace the freedom of their nomadic life.
As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the mountains, Shawkat and Zainab gather the children for a special task: baking local bread. The aroma of freshly baked bread is a cherished memory for them, a symbol of comfort and sustenance. They set up a small fire, the flames dancing in the twilight, and begin the process of making dough from the flour they have carefully stored.
With flour dusting their hands and laughter filling the air, they work together, each child taking on a role. Behnam and Dariush help knead the dough, their small hands working diligently under Shawkat's watchful eye. Zainab, with her nurturing spirit, teaches them the art of shaping the bread, explaining the significance of each fold and twist. As they prepare the bread, they share stories of their ancestors, weaving a tapestry of tradition and love that binds them together.
Once the bread is ready, they place it on the hot stones by the fire, watching as it puffs up and turns golden brown. The anticipation builds, and soon the air is filled with the mouthwatering scent of freshly baked bread. As they gather around the fire, breaking the warm bread and sharing it among themselves, they feel a profound sense of gratitude. In that moment, they are not just surviving; they are thriving, united by their love for one another and the beauty of their nomadic life.
As night falls and the stars blanket the sky, Shawkat, Zainab, Behnam, and Dariush sit together, their bellies full and their hearts content. They share stories, laughter, and dreams, knowing that no matter the challenges they face, they have each other. In the mountains, they have found not just a home, but a life rich with love, resilience, and the promise of tomorrow.
