| Sanctus Desertus (Desert Saint) |
Days are getting longer, but it's still too cold and inclement to do much outside. It's a time to rest, dream, plan and burn fires. Even more valuable, it's a time to simply be and observe, even as we are active and celebrate.
The little critters know this well. Our reptile siblings have been here a lot longer than we hair-covered thought forms. They are resting within Mother Earth in the bliss and fulness of the emptiness between dreams of insects and hawks.
The collard lizard is among the saints of the desert. Shari chose this little critter to express a little whimsey amidst the retail bustle and Christmas hype. Christmas is within, and that's where humble critters reside.
May we all know the peace and empathy that we call Christmas, or winter solstice, Saturnalia, or whatever! The days are getting longer and soon they will be warmer when our friends, the desert saints, will be emerging to enjoy their busy little lives.
Merry Christmas to both of you. I really like the Desert Saint. We were in Mexico recently and I have a photo of me with an Iguana which I'll send you in an email. Take care.
