The Interior Desert Stimulates Spiritual Creativity

Just as the absence of an abundance of water in the desert stimulates plants and animals to develop ingenious adaptations to dryness, so the inner desert - sometimes called "the dark night of the soul" - sets in motion the wonders of our own spiritual creativity. Here the faculty of imagination enables us to find Presence within absence, personality within the realm of the non-personal, beauty within desolation, and meaning within apparent meaninglessness. It is no wonder that the desert has always been considered a place of revelation, epiphany and spiritual growth :)
