My American Friends
If it's true that old wood is better to light a fire ...
If it's true that an old horse is better to ride...
If it's true that an old book is a better read ...
If it's true that an old wine is better to drink and savor...
It's also true that it's better to have an old friend.
Let’s be children of the desert!
The desert is so vast, immense and all in abundance.
The space is to be written.
The space us to be filled
The children of the desert already know more than we.
Their instinct keeps them aware.
Let’s be children of the desert!
They are not locked in, prisoners of their habits, of their roots, of their desert.
The move forward along familiar trails.
They are continually on the move.
They know how to change routes.
Their compass is a water hole.
The underground mystery of a spring which waits for them to flow and quench their thirst.
Let’s be children of the desert!
They reject the illusions of mirages.
They know that an oasis is just a passageway.
They know nothing of a Promised Land.
They have their feet the ground, on this earth.
Let’s be children of the desert!
They are not engaged in Wandering.
They are engaged in Hopefulness.
