I've spent some good time tent camping in the desert. The desert seems the quietest, cleanest place possible, where you can empty your mind and be receptive to your surroundings. Here's a quote I was reminded of during my stay:
"It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking, it can do no other; in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet." – Franz Kafka
"It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking, it can do no other; in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet." – Franz Kafka

@katydidnt This is kind of something that I feel. Never read Franz Kafka.

Looks like that cactus is giving the desert the finger.

@cherokeepatti I've never seen a rainbow in the desert.

@SW-User It rains in the desert sometimes and if the sun is shining through the rain you’ll see one.
