Motionless

With the daily presence of dramatic images of the earthquake, floods and huricanes that are devastating some areas of the planet, I often have thoughts instead of the immobility of the desert.
For thousands of years everything seems motionless, no natural upheavel seems to have happened to scratch the static image of this place that seems from another dimension, even if in reality this is not so. The Chinese desert for example, has flowing rivers in the summer that are later absorbed into the sand. The Salar in Bolivia, has a rainy season that makes it impassable. And for that matter it is the presence of water that creates change in the desert. Where there is no water, everything remains motionless, only the wind sculpts new dunes or moves others, but everything happens slowly. This lack of change creates security and therefore the sensation of great well-being that you experience in this place is due to this fact. The magic of the desert!
