They are ill tempered and even spiteful but very suited for survival West of the Pecos. There is water out there but you have to know exactly where to find it. During the initial exploration I'm sure they missed the remnants of ice age forests atop the desert peaks. Great beauty and a silent desolation to inspire any prophet. If you cannot hear the still small voice there then you're deaf both inside and out. That forbidding part of Texas is is home of my soul and an inspiration to me. Climb a peak out there and see forever. Find a silence that will sing.
