Nomadic Life

In the quiet stretch of foothills where wild thyme scents the morning air, an old stone house stands resilient against time. It's not grand—its mud walls are chipped in places, the wooden beams weathered—but it breathes with memory. The house belongs to Peyman's parents, though now it shelters the young family he’s begun with Maryam and their six-month-old son, Parsa.

Peyman has been away in the city for a few days, working to bring in money and supplies. The city life is distant from the rhythms of this place, where the wind whispers through tall grass and the horizon stretches unbothered. Maryam, meanwhile, rises early with the sun. Parsa stirs beside her, his soft breaths matching the rustling of leaves just outside their window.

By the hearth, Maryam prepares breakfast. She kneads dough with practiced hands and flattens it on a hot pan over an open flame. The scent of Berko bread—warm, nutty, slightly smoky—fills the small kitchen. It’s crisp on the outside, soft within. She sets some aside, wraps a few pieces in cloth, and carries a chunk outside for the sheepdog that guards their flock.

After breakfast, with Parsa wrapped snugly against her chest in a patterned shawl, she walks out to the pen. Their sheep are bleating softly, crowding at the gate. One by one, she milks them, her hands moving gently, rhythmically, as the sheep nuzzle her sides. The milk is warm and foamy, caught in a tin pail. Some will be boiled for yogurt; some saved for butter.

Parsa watches everything with wide, curious eyes. His small fingers reach for the sheep’s wool, or wave in the air, delighted by a passing bird. Maryam hums as she works, a lullaby her grandmother taught her, one that speaks of hills and rain and reunion.

She pauses sometimes, looking out to where the trail disappears over the ridge. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day, Peyman will return—his boots dusty, his arms ready to hold both his son and his wife. Until then, life flows simply here. The sheep need tending. The bread must be made. The seasons turn gently. And Maryam, strong and quiet, carries the days forward, one sunrise at a time.
