A drive in the desert



I began last week with a head ache and a bad attitude. I knew I had a bush trip to do during the week and wasn't looking forward to the long drive there and back. But to my suprise a six hour drive in the desert turned out to be just what my head, heart and soul needed. By the time I drove six hours back two days later I felt calm and happy and like my head had been cleared of the fog I had been in for weeks. I listened to my favorite playlists on my iPod, sang loudly and made plans in my head. Anyone who thinks of the desert as a vast nothing has completely missed the point.
