"The Sahara" photo by Jennifer Chapin
I have always loved the power of the desert and view its curves and nuances as that of the body of a beautiful woman, sensuous and languid.
I have respected its power and the fact that no one can ever tame her, all submit to her in the end.
When we are immersed in Nature, whether it is the desert or the jungle or a mountain terrain...or in a radiant field of wildflowers, I believe we do so with the knowledge that we are OF her...that the elements that compose her also lie within us, and to think that we are somehow separate from her is to engage in a massive and destructive illusion.
As we are of the Earth, so we are of the stars. Galaxies live within us, star dust and light, we are whole and complete within ourselves, an entire universe lies within us.
We are powerful Galactic Beings, ones that embrace Heaven and Earth, equally and profoundly.
