Desert Blog

By Eric Hefez

Currently, I am lying down on these desert rocks staring at the stars in the beautiful sky right here in the Negev.

Glaring back at me are the stars.

So mysterious it is out there in space. A universe so large a small human like me struggles to comprehend it.

As I enjoy this peace and quiet alone out here, I can't help but notice the alignment of stars that form a large question mark. All these questions start to rush to my head. I think to myself... What else is out there? Why am I here right now? What's my purpose in this life? Where can I go and where will I end up when it's all said and done?

It's hard to fathom such grand questions like these... So for now I will just lay here and enjoy all that I am sure of, proud of, and grateful for: that I am alive, that I am healthy, that I am happy, and that I am blessed.
