EL CREDO DEL DESIERTO

This creed of the desert seemed inexpressible in words, and indeed in thought. It was easily felt as an influence, and those who went into the desert long enough to forget its open spaces and its emptiness were inevitably thrust upon God as the only refuge and rhythm of being.


Each individual nomad had his revealed religion, not oral or traditional or expressed, but instinctive in himself.


T. E. Lawrence. ( Seven Pillars of Wisdom )
