Arrakis

"God created Arrakis to train the faithful."

The above is a quote from Dune, a favorite novel I hope to revisit soon. Arrakis is a desert planet, subtly thriving, wholesomely complex, vital. Yet still desert.

How does one navigate the desert? How can they find their way to the forest?

I have been superbly vague today. It's time to start writing again.
