“What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.” Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Know The Invitation
Those days do come,
they surprise
arriving unannounced and uninvited
days where before, we caroused and
rejoiced with wine and fine food
only to be usurped by a pressing sense
of dry bones and a yearning for
something more,
something deeper,
something beyond,
and as this desert deepens,
to know the invitation and
to look for the very things that
nourish the soul.

There you go, penning the very words that touch my current condition. Thanks for surreptitiously giving me hope in the midst of my desert.

Saint-Ex had a special relationship with the desert. Lost too many friends there and had been stranded a few times too. (See Terre des hommes) BUt that gave the world “Le petit prince”. Cheers
