More Thomas Merton
"If you go into the desert merely to get away from people you dislike, you will find neither peace nor solitude; you will only isolate yourself with a tribe of devils."
If you go into the dessert to get away from other people, it is _you_ that you are trying to escape. In _that_ dessert, the selfish one, you will find the devils in your head as well the the ones who wander. You will then lose your mind. Trust me. Dennis- Boulder, member of AA
