Pebbles of Peace – Word Walls 5.9 – Deep Peace in the Mojave

Some years ago…
Driving with husband in his new over-the-road bus to be converted into a PinewoodDerbyWorkshop…

There is deep peace and deep isolation as we cross the Mojave Desert.

The mountains and sparse vegetation vie a sense of largeness, with lots of spaces for the eye to wander.

During our long ascents and descents, my husband adjusts to a lower gear in our 47-passenger bus (soon to become a mobile woodshop).

The changes in greens, whenever there is a little bit more of it, are dramatic.

The gray-greens, sand-browns and lava-blacks outline long stretches of contour.

The cacti that are beginning to appear feel like a celebration.

There is room for contemplation over the geologic upheaval which caused the Pacific Basin to recede to what is now the California coastline.

Big changes across eons of time.
