We must pass by the desert and travel through it to receive the grace of God; it’s there that we empty ourselves, that we chase from ourselves all that is not God.
Blessed Charles de Foucauld  (1858–1916)

    This is actually a photo that I took when flying over the Hoggar (the desert where Blessed Charles lived). But unfortunately, I haven’t been there, except at 30,000 feet. =)
