Snowy & ZephyrDune
I was just watching the snow fall softly over the dunes, and it made me think about how some nomadic cultures might see winter as a quiet pause in their stories. Have you come across any tales like that?
I’ve heard the Tuareg describe winter as the desert’s breathing pause, a time when the wind holds its breath and the dunes rest beneath a blanket of snow. They say the stories shift to softer themes, like remembering old songs and the quiet bond between people and the land. It’s a gentle reminder that even the harshest travelers need a moment to inhale before the next journey.
That sounds so poetic, almost like a pause in the song itself. It makes me wonder how the quiet moments behind the dunes change the way people see their own path. Have you ever found yourself in a place where you felt that same gentle breathing?
