In the Desert – Quote of the Week

June 8, 2013 By Jean Wise

In the desert the most urgent thing is–to wait.
The desert does not take kindly to those who tackle it at breakneck speed, subjecting it to their plans and deadlines.
Instead, the desert welcomes those who shed their sandals of speed and walk slowly in their bare feet, letting them be caressed and burnt by the sand.
If you have no ambition to conquer the desert, if you do not think you are in charge, if you can calmly wait for things to be done, then the desert will not consider you an intruder and will reveal its secrets to you.
Allessandro Pronzato  in Meditations on the Sand

    Much love XX
