Letters from the Desert

It's a long way home...

A

Letter from Ava

I’d take the view over the cracked desert land than the city lights of paris when flying above.

B

Letter from Bert

As far as I can see, barren lands and tumbleweeds, nothing happens in the middle of the desert.

C

Letter from Callie

It doesn’t take too long to get from one end to another across town, just need a bike and some wind.

D

Letter from Darren

Dragging my body in 102F weather at night, I can't even take a night stroll to stay cool.

E

Letter from Erin

Every now and then, the rare breezes that come down the valley are always a welcomed guest.

F

Letter from Frank

Every now and then, the rare breezes that come down the valley are always a welcomed guest.

G

Letter from Gina

Gorgeous pools and cocktails are how I spend every weekend.

H

Letter from Hank

It's oddly comforting that power lines streatch on for miles. It makes you feel not as isolated from the rest of the world when you are out here in the desert.

I

Letter from Ivan

Sometimes I get surprised at the imagination for interior decor in downtown Palm Desert.

J

Letter from Jason

Buildings here are faded and old, as if they have their own jadedness that comes with being alone.

K

Letter from Kylie

Despite the smallness of the community here in Palm Desert, I really appreciate the cultural artwork that decorates the sidewalks.

L

Letter from Larry

Long for scenery that changes with the seasons, time stands still in the desert.

M

Letter from Maya

I'm always buying chapstick because in the desert, my lips would be as cracked as the land without lip balm.

n

Letter from Neri

Joshua trees grow so differently much like how our fingerprints are unique.

O

Letter from Oscar

The moon shines much brighter when it doesn’t have to compete with city lights.

P

Letter from Paul

People here keep to themselves, much like how our shadows never leave us.

Q

Letter from Quinn

There should be more ways we make buildings and places more accessible in the desert.

r

Letter from Rhett

Darkness in the desert makes all things glow that much cooler and mystical.

S

Letter from Sage

The cafe lights here in this crepe restaurant make me wish I was in Paris rather than Palm desert.

T

Letter from Ty

I wonder what the view of the desert would look like if I was a bird that could sit at the top of the cable line tower.

U

Letter from Una

There’s a unique Hollywood movie charm to the downtown character of Palm Desert.

V

Letter from Vera

So glad a crepe cafe is out here, a great sweet treat to come back whenever I have a craving.

W

Letter from Wendy

I wonder all the diffeerent ways I can grow when I look at Joshua trees.

X

Letter from Xander

Can’t help but appreciate the structural soundness of things we make to live more comfortably out here, like this structured support of this chair.

Y

Letter from Yara

I wonder who builds these tall structures out here. It must be really difficult with the sun beating down on you.

Z

Letter from Zion

Observing all the delivery trucks on the road makes my road trip here more interesting. Haven’t seen what an official Cheeto delivery truck looked like.




On the way back home...
