wildetecture in the karoo desert

The concept that desert space distills thoughts and then aligns those thoughts unto a receptive travelers mind. Is all part of the the stillness of being, than mystery. Maybe each desert has its own end product stimulus per individual traveler - Some find religion, some become creative, others both maybe. The intensity of the desert is undeniable.

last week i drove 4 hrs into the desert karoo and 4 hrs back on the same day, to visit a client for 2hrs. Yesterday we flew to Johannesburg from cape town for a 2 hr meeting on site and back on the same day. This concept of being in one space and then another a thousand miles away and back all in one day - Is a very interesting one, invigorates the mind.

Having gone into the desert on a mission with no name, it felt good to get out of the city. There were plants and birds and rocks and fynbos & things. In the desert one reflects inwards, the intense thick still air distills a million thoughts from a billion minds. These thoughts travel through time and space, awaiting a receptive mind to interpret the jumble of static frequency. Imagining them into creative ideas. So its all of our mission to find our creative quest in this contemplative space - Only when in Africa's desert terrain,  make sure you dont think to deeply whilst you allow a leopard to sidle up on your six.

One does tend to think deeply in the stillness of the deserts sands.
