Ya know, this makes a lot of sense. I got hooked on henna when I saw
a woman's hennaed hands in a National Geographic article on...Saudi
Arabia.
Coincidence? I think not. ;-)
--Anne, who defied the unspoken rule of no body art on a teacher in
school and left her brace at home (but her henna stains are so faint
now you'd have to be *very* close to see them)
: Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, is by lore, the place Eve went to to meet
Adam.
: (His ex, Lillith, having packed her bags and split). I suppose
that
: makes Jeddah where Eden is supposed to have been, and some have
: thought Eden was hedged by Camphire (henna) trees .... in any
case,
: Jeddah has planted more than 8 million trees, many of them henna
: trees, which must make it wonderfully Eden-like when they're in
bloom!
