Hello friends!

Today, driving past tons of open, dry, rocky fields

and narrow streams, I am reminded

by every irrigated sprinkler system.

I am reminded by every drop of sweat and every dry heave breathe,

that life comes from water

and heat is its companion…

so long as neither is domineering.

I enjoy the beauty of diversity,

but wonder why or how anything/anyone survives in the dessert.
