Rejuvenated - back from the Desert.
There were just 3 trees and nothing else. From horizon to horizon flat
stony desert in Australia’s Outback. Explorer Sturt in 1845: ‘...the most cheerless and the most forbidding of any landscapes our eyes had wandered over…' No Mcdonalds. No tourists. Not even electrons - no internet. I love that spot. Used to months of re-active thinking following prompts from the computer, my thoughts were at a loss. There was no command to obey, no sound, no diversion whatsoever. A complete otherness. It scrubs your brain. Dog Rusty was lying down muzzle on a paw, his style when thinking deep. Far away a heat haze shimmered upwards. It deleted the horizon, made Heaven and Earth be one and Rusty grinned. It took a while, then, clutter-free, my thoughts became their own again. They leafed through some pages of the life I’ve lived - and some not lived yet. They created doodles through no-mans-land. They did what kiddies do: they daydreamed. Useless, simple and happy. Had forgotten all about it. I love the Stony Desert. It’s my head’s Recycle Bin. There is a short clip about it in the video section of my website. I called it ‘Three Trees Dreaming’ Cheers - Klaus and Rusty http://www.oz-greetings.com.au Nature & Wilderness, Quotations and Geology |
