Truth and Beauty

 

The actual truth is there is beauty in everything.  You must realize, however, that to see the beauty in a spider, you may need to be a spider.

To understand the beauty of the desert, you must also appreciate its intensity.  You need to comprehend the relationships between heat, rock and life.  The feet of the lizard are not sensitive to the scorching surface of the rock, just as it should come as no surprise to see a sign reading, Next Gas 300 Miles.

There is a certain poetry in walking along the desert highway, carrying an empty gas can.  The conversation you have with yourself will cover a wide range of topics, with an intensity of its own.
