CHAPTER I
THE TASTE OF PATIENCE
Suddenly I lost all sensation in my body, except for the area above my shoulders. I could only move my eyes and my mouth; I could not even rub my nose!
Tender was
nder was my mother's prayer, full of sublime maternal warmth, signifying motherhood in its widest scope, meaning and glory. My wife bid me farewell with a smile full of emotion that rocked my heart and captured my soul. I was tempted to stay back.
It was one of the darkest nights... The sky was pitch black, bereft of the moon. As I drove my car, I left behind my hometown, the city of Sur. I was heading for Seeb Airport (now Muscat International Airport) to board a Petroleum Development Oman plane en route to the oil fields of Murmul in the Omani desert.
It was to be my last week, ending ten months of training in that remote area of Oman, on the outskirts of the vast desert known as the Empty Quarter.
I had returned from the USA one year before, after five years of study which culminated in my receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial engineering.
Before beginning a new assignment in the Operations department at the company's headquarters in Muscat, I was due for an annual vacation. I would use it to fulfil a promise I had made eleven months ago: a honeymoon that my wife was eagerly awaiting.

A Taste of PATIENCE
The writer is a survivor of an accident that altered his life. He is a man who managed to overcome adversity and transform bitterness into personal success, as his literary gains outweighed his physical restrictions. Where his physical condition limited his movements, his art of creative writing opened up a new horizon for him that enabled him to freely interact with his readers. This is a real-life account of how a human can overcome obstacles, giving effect to the epithet: "What does not kill me makes me stronger."
The biography defines patience in two ways: firstly, a bitter experience; and secondly, the ability to tolerate and turn one's misfortune into investment. The accident that the writer suffered has paralysed his body, however, at the same time it has unleashed his writing talents.
Egyptian writer Yousef El-Sharoni
Mohamed Eid Al-Araimi was born in 1954 in Wadi al-Mur in eastern Oman and travelled widely in the Arabian Gulf before obtaining a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering from the U.S. Near dawn one fateful night, en route to his work site in the oil fields of the Omani desert, he had a tragic accident when his car collided with a camel in the road. Faced with severe disabilities, he exerted himself in physical rehabilitation and was eventually able to resume his professional
career.
His Arabic writings include the novel Mark of Chain, a novella called Between Desert and Sea, and a collection of stories entitled Rainbow. He also translated George Orwell's Animal Farm into Arabic.
