Went to the Desert, Went Crazy, and Came Back.

I have not had that much free time to do absolutely nothing but think and focus on my surroundings in a very very long time. I did not go to the desert and have a religious experience but I did make a very good friend in a Berber who plays the blues, writes about the desert, has a 6^th grade education, speaks 6 different languages, and is a little hamq (crazy). For a brief time I felt I had always been in the desert, and would never leave. Most of the time though I was questioning whether my sunglasses were really a tv screen playing back the most amazing views of my life. This trip has really brought home the fact that I am experiencing thing that most people will never get to. I am glad to be out of the desert, glad to be ALMOST sand free, but I have only been gone for an hour and I miss it already.
