Look at this mud.
You'd rather not? Does it seem strange, pointless, or disgusting?
Don't be so fast. Give it a few seconds. Look closely.
There is someone inside that shapeless mass.
It is looking back at you.
It takes the eye of a creator to see Something in what appears to be Nothing.
The photographer found the perfect title for the image: The Eye of Drought.
A hippopotamus saves itself from the scorching sun. For him, mud is paradise.
If a hippo could talk, he would probably be puzzled by human behavior:
“Why are you suffering in the heat? Come join me, you fool.”
An animal's advice can save your life — or at least make it easier.
Literally, if you ever find yourself lost in the heat of the savanna on a safari.
Or it might save you symbolically the next time you ask yourself:
“What useful function does this "mud", "dust", "trash", or "ash" serve?”
Answer that, and you've just found a free resource.
When that happens, drop me a line.
We'll celebrate your transformation together.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
