Desert

I simply wanted to experience the presence of this man [Gerald Heard] who had revolutionized my understanding. After a while we sat in silence, gazing at the barren canyon walls. And the mute desert seemed to carry on our conversation for us.

I would go out into the desert. The desert was my teacher. I didn't know about gurus and wise people—I wasn't a reader.

"Living in the desert does not only mean living without people, but living with God and for God."

Is that a fiddle I hear there somewhere drifting through those fired dry sands?
