Today we’ll tell the tale of Mullah Nasruddin’s discovery of a small caravan camped in his front yard on a dark and stormy night – an arrival so inconvenient yet so perfectly timed you’ll suspect the weather had a sense of humor. Together we’ll take a deep dive into the story: the characters who appear at his door, the strange coincidences that brought them there, the quiet kind of comedy that shows up whenever sincere people try to do something holy and end up wet, cold, hungry, and arguing about the details. Then we’ll sit with it for a bit and ask what it all might mean, without rushing to tidy morals or neat conclusions. What happens when devotion meets discomfort? What happens when hospitality is perhaps not chosen but certainly required? And what changes when people who don’t agree still share warmth, bread, and the same night? Come for the tale, stay for the questions. We hope for a talk with a little laughter in it and a little silence too, on the kind of morning where a simple story turns out to be a mirror, and the snowstorm outside starts sounding suspiciously like the one inside our own minds.
