Mud cannot be of the self. For he relies on the collaboration of dirt and water. The ongoing melding of two distinct worlds. That, when working together, lay the groundwork for a new realm.
Mud is the playpen for the pig. As the elephant takes delight in the mud shower, the rhinoceros rolls around looking for a chum. Mud attracts the worm, the frog, and the snail. He also lures the clam. And the little boy looking to create.
Mud entices the four-wheel enthusiast. Looking for a twist and turn. Seeking an adrenaline rush. And a cheap thrill. From time to time, mud provides a venue for wrestling. And a method to soften the fresh sleeve of baseballs.
Mud is a crucial element of any worthwhile obstacle course. And the main ingredient of a certain homemade pie. Mud may be thrown. Wallowed in. Sculpted. Or rinsed off. Mud is both sticky and firm. Dirty and pure.
The potter delights in the mud. As a means to livelihood. And an outlet for the creative spirit.
In particular environments, mud is able to threaten life. Shifting the landscape and displacing what used to be. He does not have ill intent. But is steadfast in his movement. Especially when provoked by nature.
Mud has been used as a vehicle for miraculous healing. As well as the remedy for toning the skin. And absorbing unwanted oil. Mud has been known to relieve stress. Surely if bathed in. But also if he is used for play.
Not to be forgotten, the Creator and mud have an intimate relationship. One that sparked life for you and me. Amen.
