THE DESERT AND SPIRITUALITY:
The desert has a strong relationship with spiritual quests.
The desert itself invokes images of vast expanse, where man may be alone to commune with the higher power and forces of nature.
For the "Sufi poet Rumi" poetry about the desert was an allegory for a spiritual quest of the soul journeying into the infinite.
" I learned to live for now
I learned to enjoy the beaches
and let life come as it may"
