the desert is a hot place, uncomfortable, it dries the skin and heats up the flesh...
and a walk there is close to torture. and to spend an entire season there is madness.
but in the midst of this, it can cause you to look deeply into yourself and see what makes you tick.
why you think the way you do, how you carry yourself, what thoughts, prejudices and emotional baggage you carry around, what you hold dear, what you reject, the deepest motivations of your soul...
the night wind of the desert chills one to the very marrow, and it is in times of pain that some of the most frightening and disturbing memories come to haunt you once again. but take heart and remember that you are not alone in your stay.
He was there three thousand years ago, and He remains with you.
