For you, I drew Coyotewomon, The Trickster. She is halfway between human and coyote form, dancing in the desert. Cactuses are to both sides--prickly, certainly, but also a source of water if you need one. An eagle or hawk flies high overhead. It is sunrise or sunset--I'm not sure which, but it is clearly a liminal time, not really this or that anyway.
Coyote learns lessons the hard way, but if you pay attention to zir stories, you might avoid the same mistakes. That's a part of the message here. But it's not all of it. Another part is the in-between-ness, the time in a right of passage when you are no longer who you were, but you are not yet who you will be. There is a power in that ambiguity. If all directions are no-direction, it might seem that it's impossible to make wise choices, but you have Coyote to guide you, not with zir words (there is always the chance the Trickster might try to trick you, or might believe zir own propaganda), but observing zir example will show you both pratfalls and safer paths.
Also, there are clouds overhead--perhaps a signal that a storm is coming? If so, you might get the rare chance to see the desert bloom!
