oasis

1. (figuratively) A quiet, peaceful place or situation separated from surrounding noise or bustle.Examples: "The park was an oasis in the middle of the busy city."

2. (figuratively) A place or situation of fruitfulness or abundance separated from surrounding barrenness or scarcity.Examples: "[T]here is no true American music but the wild sweet melodies of the Negro slave; the American fairy tales and folklore are Indian and African; and, all in all, we black men seem the sole oasis of simple faith and reverence in a dusty desert of dollars and smartness."; "I have tried to find friends like me […] but have failed to form even one prolonged relationship. Only a few of them could understand how I felt and a couple of them allowed me to express my love as intimately and vigorously as I wanted to. But for these two oases, I have lived all these years in an emotional void."
