In the desert, we come directly upon a world that is not a projection of human consciousness.


"The significance of the desert: In the desert, a man comes directly upon a world that is NOT a projection of human consciousness, . . . that has no apparent connection to the indoor human world. In the desert one comes in direct confrontation with the bones of existence, the bare incomprehensible absolute IS-NESS of being. Like a temporary rebirth of childhood, when all was new and wonderful."

Edward Abbey
