Sometimes inside myself, I find a static desert with no end in sight.
This is especially inconvenient when I need to create something or get things done.
But in the heat, with no water, nothing new can arise.
Before, I would get annoyed and try to spur myself on. Now, on the contrary, I sit on the dunes and stare into nothingness.
An acquaintance of mine, a city person to the bone, decided to go with a guide to the desert for a few days. There, she suddenly felt that the sands took away all the worries that had plagued her for a long time.
The meaning of the desert is to create emptiness. In fairy tales, this function was performed by dead water. It had to be used first.
In other words, without the dead water, the water of life is useless.
Is music possible without pauses? Inhale without exhale? Light without darkness?
Nothing implies Something. And vice versa. Together, 0 and 1 create the world.
Thus, the “Desert” stop on your route is no accident.
Emptiness has a meaning that you need to uncover, like a gift.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
