I visited a psychedelic cactus garden on a midnight walk to my great surprise and delight to be swept away into this otherworldly oasis. The vibrant colors create a sense of being immersed in color and a magical wonderland. Unlike Alice, I did not have to fall through a hole. My imagination was my ticket to this enchanted garden. I often associate to songs when I look at my work. I hear lyrics playing in my head. Here are the lyrics I am listening to, the song Midnight at the Oasis sung by Maria Muldaur, a 60’s icon. I was surprised to learn that the lyrics contain a reference to a cactus garden. Midnight at the oasis Send your camel to bed Shadows paintin’ our faces Traces of romance in our heads Heaven’s holdin’ a half-moon Shinin’ just for us Let’s slip off to a sand dune, real soon And kick up a little dust Come on, Cactus is our friend He’ll point out the way Come on, till the evenin’ ends Till the evenin’ ends You don’t have to answer There’s no need to speak I’ll be your belly dancer, prancer And you can be my sheik I know your Daddy’s a sultan A nomad known to all With fifty girls to attend him, they all send him Jump at his beck and call But you won’t need no harem, honey When I’m by your side And you won’t need no camel, no no When I take you for a ride Come on, Cactus is our friend He’ll point out the way Come on, till the evenin’ ends Till the evenin’ ends Midnight at the oasis Send your camel to bed Got shadows paintin’ our faces
