like a wind from the desert

My housemate is like a wind from the desert. He wrote in his blog:

Five years ago I stopped listening to other people, one year ago I stopped listening to myself, now I just listen to God and life is so much fucking easier I cannot even begin to describe it.

"How often do you check in with god?" I asked last night. "Pretty much all the time," he said.

It was like having a world-traveller passing through.
