Episode 14: Walking your promise

Danny didn’t fit in as a child. Nowadays he might be considered neurodivergent, but his parents never tried to change or “fix” him. He spent much of his youth with the nomadic Sawad people near Galilee.

For Danny, the desert represents oneness on a cellular level – being a part of nature, not separate from it. But forty years spent in the desert came with a dramatic toll on Dany’s health, which took him – at the time of the Arab Spring – to the UK and then finding himself unable to return to Egypt, and unable to fit in.
