| Day 24 |
On day 4, we rode camels into the Sahara. Camels are easily trained so they are docile and peaceful to ride. The desert is quiet, surreal, and gorgeous. My spontaneous spring trip was well-timed as summer is unbearably hot, and winter is cold enough at night to require a sleeping bag. After we settled into camp, our tour guide revealed that on rare
occasions the wind has been strong enough to cancel the camel ride. I was grateful that our ride was uneventful as I love being in the desert.
In my daily life, I like to stay busy. When my body is not physically
active and engaged, my mind is busy with worrying about the
future. I constantly strive to be present in the moment, and the desert allowed me to do so without effort. Sahara sand is fine, red, and gorgeous. I spent an hour playing with it. Take a fistful of sand, open hand, allow it to drift away on the wind. Repeat. It was meditative and inspired this poster.
