SPIKE ODYSSEY

It’s like a darkness you’ve never known before. The black is so thick that the air seems solid and the universe cannot possibly extend as far as it does. There is a silence here that exists nowhere else. It’s so quiet you can hear your own body working. You can hear your joints creaking and your blooding moving around your body.

The celestial orbit around you is a milky brilliance filled with pastels only found out here. The brightness of the stars comes to your eyes with a touching organic splendor. The desert’s vast plane is punctuated with the uniformed cacti, reaching up from the ground and standing like rows of soldiers in the desert’s own army.

You are aware of the vulnerability of your body and your state of mind as it navigates the landscape. You feel like a new born child, released into the cool air of a new world. Below your feet the earth spins on its axis in silence.
