And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Once the desert gets in your soul, it never leaves
Spent a little time there back in my 20's (Did some recreational drugs there and really got to feel those cactus and that space in a different way). Love it but live in my favorite place, the mountains in the eastern U.S. These trees, compaired it's a jungle.
Yeah, once those cactus needles get in ya, it feels like that, too.
ReplyDeleteEspecially if you've seen the milky way at night out there.
ReplyDeleteI dunno folks…been living in it for almost 60 years…pictures are one thing…
ReplyDeleteCoulda been 60 years in a big city.
DeleteLike how quiet the desert is, it is serene.
ReplyDelete----horrid, desolate, dangerous--stay away----
ReplyDeletelived in the high desert for years, then escaped to the mountains. Not going back.
ReplyDeleteI like them both but prefer the mountains. The desert in spring. Awesome.
DeleteNo interest in that.
ReplyDeleteMy own opinion of the desert is that it is hot and dry ... way too hot and dry for me.
ReplyDeleteThese people have never spent time on a boat on the Colorado River.
