I think I’ve had camel milk chocolate in the UAE. But I can’t remember how it tasted. I struggle with camel and goat milk for things that I think should be sweet or dessert-y. They have a decidedly meat-y flavour

Thank you, Leslie. I find that when life turns extraordinary, a kind of hyper-awareness sets it. I appreciate you ‘feeling all the feels’ of the story!

Yes! "kind of hyper-awareness' is so accurate a way of describing those moments, almost like time slows and the mind can soak in more detail. Your writing captured it well.

Unimagined—I suppose I only thought about camels as reservoirs of water, never wondering how they fed their young!

Thanks for reading!
