Coming to the desert from Darwin made me realize that I feel
quite comfortable in the desert. I like the hot dry days and cool nights. I
like the openness and the expansiveness and the ruggedness. It is an
environment that envelops and dwarfs yet still has the capacity to befriend.
And really best of all I like the rocks and mountains – raw untamed earthy
stone rising above and beyond the monotony of spinifax and shrubs. Trees are
amazing but they do get in the way of the view and act as a protective cover
for what lies below. The desert is more honest.
