Warm greetings and welcome to my blog!
My name is Andrew and I started this blog while living temporarily in the Sonoran Desert some years ago. At the time, I was at the initial stages of recovering from a unique and disabling illness. I am a New Englander by birth and by temperament but most of my thoughts and ideas shared here are inspired by my time in the desert Southwest.
In this blog, I write about my personal experiences in the desert, my understanding of faith, my family history, and general stories of living in America. I like to think I am writing or speaking to a small group of friends and sharing with you my experiences of being a human person in the modern world. I very much appreciate the dialogue and exchange of blog writing and I encourage you to leave a note after reading my writing so I can respond to you.
All of the themes were originally written from the perspective of a soul temporarily living in the southwest desert, with an eye still focused on New England, a heart animated by faith. Today, I am not living in the desert but I like the name of the blog so it shall remain.
I hope you enjoy my blog!
Thanks for reading!
Andrew

Thank you! And good to reconnect with you!
Dear brother thank you for sharing. Obviously the digital dessert is much more harmful to my soul, than the dessert you and our desert father’s spoke of. A cloud of unknown or the cloud of unknown, unknowingly led me to Eucharistic adoration, which me to the writings of our desert father’s.
Respectfully
Frank
Frank, You are welcome!
