The Expansiveness
The combination of desert landscape and night sky has a way of setting the soul and imagination free.
The absolute silence of the desert dunes at night and the consciousness-expanding presence of the universe overhead reawakens our connection to the source of all wonder and peace.
It’s out there, stretching the neck and looking up instead of down, with the only sound of footsteps and the voices of awe of your fellow explorers, where you understand the profound value of the moment.
We need experiences like these. The heart craves them, yet everything we’ve constructed in this modern world seems to keep us from them.
It’s good to return to the source, the dark sky of wonder, and the shared stories of our journeys. It’s here in the wide open where we can find our way again.
