Excellent piece with valuable insight as usual. Thank you! You might be interested in knowing that wilderness or desert, as it may be alternately translated from the Hebrew Bible, is BeMidbar, which literally means, “In the speaking,” or contextually, “I’m the place of the Lord’s speaking.” So, how right you are about the refreshing, recharging, renewing power of the desert or wilderness. Thanks, again, Cameron!
Thank you so much, Randall! Oh, I love that translation! It makes me think of Mary Oliver's conception of prayer as a silence into which another voice may speak. Just another way to recognize that wilderness can be wild, but not empty!
