the desert
i haven’t read the whole thing, but i’m thinking he’s not talking about the desert the same way i talk about the desert. still, it’s all true.
You neglect and belittle the desert.
The desert is not remote in southern tropics
The desert is not only around the corner,
The desert is squeezed in the tube-train next to you,
The desert is in the heart of your brother.–T.S. Eliot, Choruses from ‘The Rock’
