THE WORLD, MY DESERT

The desert Fathers believed that the wilderness had been created as supremely valuable in the eyes of God precisely because it had no value to men. The wasteland was the land that could never be wasted by men because it offered them nothing. There was nothing to attract them. There was nothing to exploit...EVERYWHERE IS DESERT...

T.Merton, Thoughts in Solitude, pp.18.20



THE WORLD,

MY DESERT.

EVERYWHERE I GO,

THERE I MUST FIND

MY DESERT.

EVERYWHERE

IS

DESERT.
