 What do you think it is about the Sonoran Desert that makes it a place where so many of these kinds of plants grow? I don't know if I can answer that. I feel really blessed to have been born and raised on this land and that my people have been here for a long time. I don't know. Perhaps we were just lucky to have this, what people think is a wasteland. They look at the brown desert. They don't see the life that I see.
