All About The Desert

David Bohm

Today, we explored the theme of the desert.

The Negev, just like the American West, holds a mysterious aura. However, instead of Cowboys, Israel's desert lore belongs to prophets, philosophers, and the home to many ancient civilizations.

Starting on a trek through a canyon in Israel's southern district, we hiked from the bottom of the formation to the very tippy top. We were met with ancient lava marking from millions of years ago coupled with small caverns - one of which a monk lived - as well as a small river, pond, and steep stone stairs.

At the top we gazed down at the masterpiece nature has bestowed on us.
