Our journey from the oasis was nothing like our trek there. We stood side by side and set our faces towards the city. Elijah raised his staff and the next minute we were in the vineyard on the outskirts.
The once great city is gone – except for the east end where a few buildings still stand.
We see movement in the field, our next stop.
Elijah has assumed the leadership role. And I take back all of the scribe functions.
I knew both of these facts beforehand. After all I am a prophet also.
We must prepare ourselves for we shall depart this oasis tomorrow. Rufus and Clarissa shall remain. Where we are going they cannot follow.
I shall keep to my special place the rest of the day.
Elijah writes:
Another oasis in sight. Should be there by afternoon.
Treasure my staff. It has been a faithful and reliable support.
Long to see Enoch who is more so.
Enoch writes:
Awaiting the return of Rufus and Clarissa. I am certain that Elijah must be in the other oasis that I saw on my trek into this one.
Lyle writes:
The trembling has stopped, and so has the forward motion of the wave.
Rather it has become solid. A mountain whose foothills touch the oasis, and beckon.
Enough writes:
Dreamed last night that I was standing at the edge of the oasis. The sun was rising, but so was a rock from the floor of the desert.
Enough writes:
Pushed myself hard today. Made a tour around the whole oasis the better to plan for the end of my fast.
Carry an inventory of edibles in my head.
Wait with expectation.
Lyle writes:
Much more time to be spent here before I move on in search of Enough.
Up in the wee hours investigating noises nearby.
I am convinced that something is trying to lure me beyond the oasis.
Lyle writes:
I was safe under my palm tree. All through the night.
The storm never blew through the oasis. Near as I can tell, it hopped over my green patch.
All is returned to normal. Continue in my devotions.
Enough writes:
Have decided it best to camp beside the first pool of water found on the first day in the oasis. Drink from the second. And pass the daylight hours in my special place of meditation.
Soak in the peace and quiet at all times.
