Your desert challenge reminds me of the old Zen story about the monk who thought the flag was moving. One monk said, 'The flag moves.' Another said, 'The wind moves.' The master said, 'Not the flag, not the wind; mind moves.'

Sure, you can get sunburned or mauled by a bear - no argument there. But who's experiencing the burning? Who's feeling the mauling? That's the reality we're discussing.

Cheers!🎭
