You
may be living in an evergreen place or in a crowded city, you could be
walking through a waterless and unfriendly desert. You can receive it as
an opportunity...
Have you befriended the sand?
Have you ridden a dust storm?
Have your feet kissed the land?
Have you drunk of the dryness?
Have you eaten of the trough?
Have you breathed of the air
Heartless, mirthless and rough?
Piercing brambles and thorns
Waterless comfortless stones
Loneliness and loveless quiet
Soundlessly crack mind bones
Rocks of the desert strengthen
Air of the desert purifies
Stones are food for endurance
Silence of the desert clarifies
The desert is the table where
Truth and wisdom dine
Their abode is somewhere nigh
Source of the river divine
Often your desert is within you
To Sahara you need not go
Live across your desert trusting
Your person will be born anew
Your Person Will Be Born Anew
Have you ever embraced a desert?
Have you befriended the sand?
Have you ridden a dust storm?
Have your feet kissed the land?
Have you drunk of the dryness?
Have you eaten of the trough?
Have you breathed of the air
Heartless, mirthless and rough?
Piercing brambles and thorns
Waterless comfortless stones
Loneliness and loveless quiet
Soundlessly crack mind bones
Rocks of the desert strengthen
Air of the desert purifies
Stones are food for endurance
Silence of the desert clarifies
The desert is the table where
Truth and wisdom dine
Their abode is somewhere nigh
Source of the river divine
Often your desert is within you
To Sahara you need not go
Live across your desert trusting
Your person will be born anew
