"In the desert, I’ve found it easy to lose my sense of personal importance to the magnitude around me. And in that humbling of the ego, it’s also been easier to sense my connection to the inhuman. A rock solicits my gaze. The rattlesnake senses my trajectory long before I unwittingly pass its resting place under a creosote bush. The quiet compels me not so much to listen as to listen into."
