Desert rock garden – Going Alone

There’s more wind than water in the artistry of desert rocks and sands, where desiccation rather than erosion is the primary tool of transformation and change.

Desert rock gardens are made for no one to view, though these beautiful tableaus may require millennia to form. Stone gardens like this are produced by natural forces incapable of either willing such artistry into existence, or appreciating the result. Therefore, when I come across such places in the far and deep empty, I admire them for a bit, and then step cautiously so as to avoid disturbing the stones, though I know the artist can neither sense my presence, nor be affected in any way by my appreciation or regard. My admiration and consideration of such beauty is its own insular consequence and reward, a treasure I make in the moment of my appreciation, something existing solely in the pathways of my mind; meaningless to the desert, of less substance even than the wind.

Winds like this desert sandstorm are the primary force of erosion in most deserts

My name is Kurt Bell and I am delighted that you have taken some time to share a little of The Good Life with me. I’m available on social media at the links below and can be reached via email at softypapa@gmail.com

My book is available here:

Going Alone is an independent approach to living, uncovering what is real, and making peace with the facts of what is true no matter how the truth makes us feel. I upload at least one video a week for this series on my YouTube channel.

The Good Life is a formulated plan of objectives and principals designed to help us live a more virtuous life in accord with sound reasoning. I upload at least one video a month for this series.
