“Desert flowers grow and even thrive in times of little sustenance. They trust, rainy days await, as they push down their roots deep, until the skies begin to weep. Their blessings are that which fall from the sky as too from our Soul's eye.”

“Desert heat or not, the idea that my younger self was facing her last moments was a bucket of cold water in the face. I didn’t like her, but she appeared to have her shit together in a way I hadn’t for a long time, and she had, frankly, deserved better than me. I tried to wet my lips, had nothing to do it with and croaked, “Sorry.”
“Don’t be sorry. Be good. Be right. Be a hero.”

“Desert heath-myrtle
Meaning: Flame, I burn

Traditionally, Anangu women beat pukara (Pit.) with a wooden bowl to collect dew containing nectar from the flowers. Thryptomene, derived from Greek, means coy or prudish; this bush appears modest but in winter through to spring produces a cloak of tiny white flowers with red centres, blooming as if revealing a secret.”

“Desert rose!
Like the traveler who wants to go everywhere,
Like the sunshine that falls on everything,
I want to travel too, but in one direction, that can be anywhere,
As long as it leads to you, because without you, the world means nothing,
Like the desert I want to spread endlessly,
Like the wind I desire to be free,
And chase your mirages over sand dunes tirelessly,
And then wherever you are, there I shall be,
Like the desert let your love be clear and unobstructed,
Like the calm of the desert let us spread everywhere,
Then in this desert let everything else be restricted,
Because I want it to be your representation everywhere,
Like an oasis oozing from the bosom of the desert,
Like the mirage of water to a thirsty desert wanderer on a hot day,
Let your love just one feeling assert,
That like an oasis you will flow through me everyday,
Like the beautiful desert rose,
Like the endless desert,
Let your feelings of love within me repose,
As I slowly, but surely into your devout disciple convert,
Like it first my love, before you begin to love it,
Like the desert rose then let me love you,
And finally as I, my soul to you shall submit,
Let me see the desert, the oasis and the desert rose, and eternity in you!”

“Deserts possess a particular magic, since they have exhausted their own futures, and are thus free of time. Anything erected there, a city, a pyramid, a motel, stands outside time.

A future Rimbaud, Van Gogh or Adolf Hitler will emerge from their timeless wastes.”

“Desgraciadamente, quienes han perdido el auténtico sentido de la humildad –esa permanente conciencia de la relación entre cada individuo y Dios– han perdido también la capacidad de llevar sus cargas de este modo. No ven más que la carga, las dificultades y las humillaciones en sí; y se hunden. Empiezan a autocompadecerse, a cuestionarse cosas de su vida matrimonial o de su vocación que antes estimaban en mucho. El sacrificio, el esfuerzo y la entrega parecen no tener sentido; la caridad, la paciencia y el amor se convierten en meras palabras vacías. Empiezan a cuestionarse incluso el acierto o la validez de su decisión primera, a buscar la libertad o algún modo de escapar.”
