It would be dishonest to pretend
that I went because I wanted to turn the desert into a garden
or to realize dreams that were thousands of years old.
I went because it was different,
because I wanted to go,
because it was a road that might have an end.
I knew I would not stay forever;
I never thought of tying my future to this newness;
I knew I would take the road back one day,
but perhaps carrying with me a particle of the night’s silence,
or the day’s honesty.

Hey Mel, I am jealous. Maybe your camera was better than mine, the grains seem coarser. Did you go out of Mohamid? I had a thought about your group. These are friends that you will remember for the rest of your life. Shauna RPCV Morocco/ 03-05
Thank Shauna! We went to Merzouga, on the border of Algeria.
Wow! Love these photos. I would love to visit this desert.
I will take you Mom!
