Nei remoti tempi, quando il primo tremito della parola mi salì alle labbra, ascesi la montagna sacra e parlai a Dio, dicendo: «Signore, io sono il tuo servo. Il tuo nascosto volere costituisce la mia legge, e io ti obbedirò per sempre». Ma Dio non diede alcuna risposta, e come possente tempesta passò oltre. E dopo un migliaio di anni ascesi la montagna sacra e di nuovo parlai a Dio, dicendo: «Mio Creatore, io sono tua creazione. Dall’argilla mi hai plasmato, e a te io tutto devo». E Dio non diede alcuna risposta, ma passò oltre come un vento di mille rapide ali.20E dopo altri mille anni mi arrampicai sulla montagna sacra e parlai a Dio nuovamente, dicendo: «Padre, sono tuo figlio. In pietà e amore tu mi desti la nascita, e attraverso l’amore e l’adorazione io erediterò il tuo regno». E Dio non diede alcuna risposta, e come nebbia che vela le lontane colline, passò oltre. E dopo mille anni ancora m’arrampicai sulla montagna sacra e nuovamente parlai a Dio, dicendo: «Mio Dio, mio fine e mio compimento, io sono il tuo ieri e tu il mio domani. Io sono la tua radice in terra e tu sei il mio fiore in cielo, e insieme ci dilatiamo dinanzi al volto del sole». Allora Dio si chinò su di me, e sussurrò parole di dolcezza nel mio orecchio, avvolgendomi come fa il mare che cinge tutt’intorno il ruscello che corre verso di lui. E quando discesi verso le valli e il piano, Dio era anche là.

*****************                    

 In days of old, when the first trembling of the word rose to my lips,I ascended the sacred mountain and spoke to God, saying, "Lord, I am yoursservant. Your hidden will is my law, and I will obey you foralways".But God gave no answer, and like a mighty storm he passed on.And after a thousand years I ascended the sacred mountain and again spoke toGod, saying: "My Creator, I am your creation. From the clay you have meshaped, and to you I owe everything".And God gave no answer, but passed by like a wind of a thousandswift wings.20And after another thousand years I climbed the sacred mountain and spoke to Godagain, saying: «Father, I am your son. In pity and love you gave me therebirth, and through love and worship I will inherit your kingdom."And God gave no answer, and like mist that veils the distanthills, passed on.And after a thousand years again I climbed the sacred mountain andagain I spoke to God, saying: «My God, my end and my fulfilment, II am your yesterday and you are my tomorrow. I am your root in the earth and you are mine flower in the sky, and together we dilate before the face of the sun».Then God leaned over me, and whispered words of sweetness into mine ear, enveloping me as does the sea that surrounds the stream all around thatruns towards him.And when I came down to the valleys and the plain, God was there too.

Me looking into the future and wondering how much longer it will be before all the green places I love so much will look like this desert. The end of June and the beginning of July have felt more like August. Hot, dry, dusty. Our attempts at gardening and growing some herbs shriveling at the onslaught of heat and the intensity of the sun. Granted we are amateurs but it’s still concerning to watch a drought hardy plant wither in the course of a day. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to nurse that Rosemary plant back to health or if I should just cut it down now and save the crackling stems for other purposes… The ocean is burning, weather patterns are growing more extreme, and micro plastics might be the ultimate downfall of us all. And here I sit in my A/C musing on all the insanity and injustice in the world, as useless as the next person against the onslaught of time and the apathy of the powerful. Useless, useless, useless. #AlvordDesert #DryLakeBed #BlueSkies #FluffyClouds #DistantHills #HighDesert #Pose #LinenPants #BornBooties #WhiteShirtBlackBra #artist #witch #thoughts #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #sunlight #IntenseSunshine #SoBright #SoHot https://www.instagram.com/p/CRE6BfehW9Z/?utm_medium=tumblr

You’d think a light wool witch hat would be a mistake in the desert, I mean I brought it along for the #aesthetic, but it turned out to be a lifesaver. It was so hot, and so bright, and the sun was so intense that having something to cut some of the glare turned out to be amazing. Also ended up wearing it in the car a lot because my glasses turn dark in the sunlight - but if they are in the shade and I’m looking out into a bright space they aren’t much help. Moral of the story is I need to just go get prescription sunglasses, and maybe a straw hat with a really big brim too. #WitchHat #BlueSkies #Clouds #Desert #DryLakeBed #CrackedEarth #Alvord #AlvordDesert #Witch #BlackHat #wool #BlackShirt #TurquoisePants #LucyAndYak #BlackBoots #Shade #WideBrim #TooBright #landscape #DesertLandscape #DistantHills #INeedPerscriptionSunglasses (at Alvord Desert) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQkBEx9BE8a/?utm_medium=tumblr
