Edward abbey desert imagination
Edward talked about how the desert is a harsh place that brings acerbity to people. He talks that the desert could have brought out the bad side of Moses' followers when Moses ascended the mountain. Edward thinks that one can find God out in the desert by themselves but it is very dangerous and it can be difficult to attempt. Father Anthony states you can find God's work through even the harsh animals and plants out in the desert. When one is out in the desert, they must learn that they are the object of hunt or the prey. He also states how the cactus flowers will only open once a year to show beauty in order to make up for the plainness it usually is during the year. The desert has a beauty because there can be life in a place that reeks of death.
