My first post on The Soul of the Earth was on March 30, 2015. That was the Monday before Easter and this past Monday I finished a heavenly week in the same place I was nine years ago: the Anza Borrego Desert.
To celebrate this Easter, I thought I would send a bouquet of the Anza Borrego desert wildflowers I found during this visit to that land of great beauty and quiet. A place where the secrets we can’t hear elsewhere reveal themselves. Coming to us, as they have for so many for millennia, from the spare dryness of rock and sand, the warm winds, the vast, intense blueness of sky, and the scarce, vivid living beings.
Below the flowers are links to thoughts on the mysteries of the desert and the ancient celebration of Easter.

The Easter story is an interweaving of our most ancient stories, the continual bequeathing of characters and their challenges from one civilization to another. It speaks of the depths of our connection to other human beings, all the way back to the beginning.

It started with a lot of mysterious lines showing up in the sand. It became a meditation on walking among the profound mysteries we find everywhere, woven together by more than our interlacing footprints.

The Utah desert sky is a blue so incandescent it could easily burst into flames any moment and start raining stone tablets, as it apparently has been doing for eons. They have our history on them. And they tell us how to live on the planet we share with them.
