Pustinya Desert sacrament Affronts with its Bleak honesty, the Horror it prompts. Joyful at our Futility amid Beyond-worded Perils, it Cuts to the bone, Strips to gaunt, Naked intent. Mind denuded, Carnal as the Body unclad - Open to the Hazards of this Rugged land - Desert sacrament Asks that we stay Present, fit to Grasp ourselves only Insofar as we can Grasp the One. In such Blank fellness, We are hard, upright Splinter of Query. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2026 Pustinya (Russian, Slavic) – “Desert”, “Wilderness”, “Wasteland”, denoting spiritual retreat etc.

🌅 "I desire to remain in this desert... the life of the desert is admirable." St. John of the Cross writes beautifully about finding deep contentment in La Peñuela's desert silence and simple monastic rhythms.

🌵 St. Stephen of Mar Saba found God in the stillness of the desert.

His solitude teaches us that creation can be a sanctuary—where silence becomes prayer and the Earth speaks of God. 🌍✨
