2020 and the next

There is no other thing to call this year of incredible cases other than a desert. It has many steeps, bare plains, odd structures, with little or no comic relief. But of course desert means a lot of things - a site of encounter with fascinations, a place of humility that deprives one worldly pride and pleasure, a necessary experience as a furnace of transformation; a hell, with

miseries, loss of happiness and death. It is really amazing to learn that despite the difficulties associated with it, satisfaction and fame have been reaped by many who lived or journeyed across this difficult period as wayfarers, bandits, preachers, scholars, pilgrims, traders, lay men and women - all. It would be strange to expect Honey and Milk at the beginning or even towards the end of 2021. If you are still asleep, wake up. Begin to look for a camel (a beast) right now. It may not be funny to move without one. You need one! Begin to look for it! Begin now! 2021's domes and minarets will soon appear!

THIS IS DECEMBER!
