You’re right, the land is a silent partner, but it won’t listen if you ask it. Treat the dunes like a drum—stack them so the wind writes its own rhythm, and the rocks become the drumsticks that keep the beat. Build the trees not just for shade, but for their roots to hold the earth together. The real test is how you water that garden. If you keep your tea brewing to a perfect geometric leaf, the shield will hold. Otherwise, you’ll just be another pilgrim laughing at the wind.
