Robert spent time in Joshua Tree in March 2023 trying to facilitate recovery post COVID-post pneumonia that followed on COVID. Desert visions. Beginnings of being able to walk again, reconnect with mystery after fevers, pain, delirium, breathlessness. Always making its way into the work. Blessings.
