SMOKE OF DESERT - SIMONE ANDREOLI

SMOKE OF DESERT - SIMONE ANDREOLI

Nocturnal journey in the deserts of Oman, a land chosen for producing the world’s most prestigious incense.

An extraordinary resin from ancient times used to communicate with and pay tribute to the gods.

Smoke of Desert is the celebration of the most exclusive, purest incense enriched with notes of wormwood and cashmere.

The desert breeze strokes the ground, parts the sand and blows without a sound.

Its heart beats slowly; its muffled, monolithic voice seems to be the only sound nearby.

I searched for a landmark between the dunes, walking eastward, and with every step into the unknown I lost all fear, all weight.

They remain behind; the tracks dissolve on the sand like past thoughts; they no longer relate to the present.

God left a fragment of Himself in the heart of Dhofar, the gold of the desert, so that humans could burn it to communicate with Him.

If the gods smoked during their dark nights to soothe their spirits, they would smoke incense.

I lost all contact with reality to enter the middle of nowhere and surrender to the law of the desert.

An unwritten rule, an unspoken code that imposes a vision; looking inward.

Nothing exists here, nothing happens.

Sunsets reflect in my iris's discourse, but they wait for darkness to reveal their meaning.

The night is the poetry of black, guardian of thoughts and words shared with God.
