Legend said a Sufi saint, Diri Baba, still lay uncorrupted in the tomb outside Maraza. The vault floated high on the side of a cliff. It dated from the 15th century. The late sun banked through the old stone latticework. It was tangerine colored. This was probably intentional. It was so quiet. The imam was gone. When I closed my eyes, I could almost make out the Caspian’s breathing, wave upon wave, 40 miles away.
