Desert

If you are at home in the desert you are comfortable being alone.

It is in the desert that you can best be alone because most else is dead or struggling to survive. When things struggle to survive they are possessed with themselves.

Ancients went into the desert and came out with a God.

The desert is representative of a hard struggle that we have all felt and felt better for.

In the desert we develop wisdom and there is no time for clever condescension.

The desert prepares us to see leaves of grass as a contrast to matter decayed.

Our experience with the desert also tells us there is nothing different between what is dead and what is alive at the most basic level.
