Desert Winds

'I wish we were desert winds...we would be tempestuous and bold and fierce and soft and hushed and roaring and cool and burning.

I wish we were the mystical emptiness...every being passing through would tell us how blessed we were to be empty and yet never barren.

I wish I was mad...then this mortal malaise would only be a fleeting sigh and every thought of you the reason for this joyful madness.' ~ Prabir C. Purkayastha.

 

An evening in winds over 100 miles/hour in the Mesquite Dunes of Death Valley. Totally alone.
