What starts as plain dusty earth gets stirred up by the
splattering of raindrops. The grains of
soil move to welcome moisture in their midst.
Lines between earth and the sky’s offering are blurred. Ground becomes darker, soft and
fragrant. More water falls and mingles,
and there it is – sloppy, squishy, and smooth: mud.
Mud is so much fun to play in. When it’s muddy you can search for
worms. You can mix mud-pies to bake when
the sun returns. I love to feel it
between my fingers or toes. It reminds
me of being a kid; of thunderstorms; of summers in a warm, wet country; of days
with nothing to do but to sit still and soak in the world around me.
To God be all glory.
