‘He is steeped in the traditions of Western #philosophy but comes from a world where the #desert reminds you constantly that you are surrounded by a vast inimical emptiness; the ancient #Christian hermits used to sit in the #Egyptian desert because from there you could place a toll-free call to #Paradise’
Good morning! From my new babies (well, they’re not exactly baby plants). I bought the decorative vase ftom a thrift shop by #loyolauniversity in Chicago last spring for $2. And the echevarrias (2 varieties) and aloe vera from @homedepotfound in Chicago two days ago. The southwestern motif reminds me of #Arizona when I used to drive to Eloy for immigration interpretation gigs, many years ago. @plants@houseplants
