Life In the Desert

Through the door of the adobe shelter while sacred Palo Santo scent rises and wafts to greet the coyotes as they yip and yelp in praise to their pack among the strength of the great saguaro. Purples and pinks and oranges paint the vast sky One last time before the great moon rises and the star's twinkle while the desert sleeps. Inside, the fire crackles celebrating the day through song and conversation knowing that the day is over and the anticipation of morning Is near, giving birth to new beginnings, new life. The desert hare scurry among the Teddy Bear Cactus. Palo Verde support the quail as the great hawk circles the land and the owls follow their path while the arid breeze gently provides relief for all. Deer and Javelina's travel the wash in search for vegetation among the brush and thorns and an occasional rain drenches the earth to provide relief to desert life replenishing with renewal...in the desert.
