Desert VI
There is a special place in the desert called the paneremos.
This place is not geo-specific. It is any place two or more days walk into the desert away from habitation.
Paneremos, then, signifies the outer desert, the further desert, or the utter desert. The paneremos caused men to invent aescitism by necessity.
As you move away from habitation the forces of power there fade away and new forces of power take hold. The forces of power in the desert are natural, whereas, habitation is a force to eliminate the displeasing effects of nature from our experience or sight.
Near lands like Ethiopia, there are cave camps that no one owns.
If the desert gave us everything we needed but no more then how would we live?
