“_If the moon be with thee thou need’st not mind about the stars._”—ARABIC PROVERB.
The desert is the cradle of love!
The love of God or the love of solitude, or the love which seeks its soul-mate and finds it, in the immensity of the sands.
There is no room for doubt in the minds of those who love and who pass their days together in the desert’s great spaces.
If the love is that which endureth, which floods cannot drown nor many waters quench, which looks ever towards the horizon where the light is born heralding the day, then will the desert be as a book filled with much wisdom; a book in which the handwriting is visible only to those who radiate the love which sees the mountain peak above the swirl of mist; the truth of the dream in which, blindly, we stumble and fall, until enlightenment comes to us so that we rise once more and reach the end of the road at last.
