African proverb

"You must go to the desert with a simple soul, without worrying about a work to be done: in reality, you have nothing to do in the desert but to simplify your life, to strip it of all concerns and activities. The desert is not difficult, it is demanding; it is not complicated and that is why it requires simplicity. Take a fresh look at everything, a look of faith: at nature, at your daily work, on events, in a word on the whole web of your human life... It comes down to living the present moment... It's the secret of the desert... Expect nothing other than the fullness of the present ." 
Rene Voillaume
