The desert

I just watched a video about Catholicism, which I am slwlly beginning to love in the theoretical realm... in that space where I accept Christianity as my way of looking at the world.
While teh idea that there is one true religion encourages and motivates people, if I were to have to pick between there being one true religion and nothing at all to believe in.. I would pick nothing.
I cannot accept such a God.
That being said I can accept that Christianity is the language I am most comfortable growing closer to God in.

So. I was watching this video... about "The little brothers of Jesus"... funny name, great group. You should all look into them if you are bored... very interesting. Anyway. They live in teh desert alone for a year and they said 2 things I would liek to send to those I care about in a desert. I also started to think of this place as a desert made of water instead of a desert with no water.... they are equally as oppressive or a welcoming.

They said, and I paraphrase:

The scariest thing about the desert is that you risk encountering God.
and
when asked.. isn't it antisocial to go to the desert for a year and be alone, and remove yourself from society?
they said, and i paraphrase:
1. you come back
2. the desert is something you always carry around with you. You just need to learn to see it.
When you do, you can run into God anywhere.
