Desert Dweller

-thoughts on life, death and gardening.

Don’t be afraid to take a weird idea 
down the rabbit hole.

Let it play in the mud for a while.
Give it permission to indulge, to spin a cocoon.

Explore what happens when it goes off in some
bizarre direction,

or crosses over into the realm of the improbable.

Don’t be afraid to ask, what if?
Let it get silly and childish.

Give it freedom to explore, to experiment,
to test boundaries and create new ones.

This is the land of oz, colorful as the rainbow.

The land of bonsai.
The land of the surreal.
The land of fantasy and dreams.

No goals, quotas, or objectives.

Don’t be afraid to take a weird idea
down the rabbit hole,

you’ll see that it eventually emerges
transformed.
