“The extreme clarity of the desert light is equaled by the extreme individuation of desert life forms. Love flowers best in openness and freedom.”

For Deserving Eyes.
Blooming Gloriously
For its Self.”

And waste it's fragrance on the desert air.”

“Like beauteous flowers which vainly waste their scent
Of odours in unhaunted deserts.”

“Every habit he's ever had is still there in his body, lying dormant like flowers in the desert. Given the right conditions, all his old addictions would burst into full and luxuriant bloom.”
