Life's Mud

Life's Mud, a photo by pdw's atelier on Flickr.

When we encounter a mud puddle, we make a point of passing at a distance. If we decide to walk through it, we are affected and made filthy. We don't make the mud clean, it makes us dirty!

The mud puddle represents many things we encounter throughout our life. Unfortunately, our vision only notices the dirt on the outside of our being. The mud which makes it to the inside often goes unnoticed... even though it's contamination has done far more damage than what is obvious.

Even if you could care less if your clothes get dirty, please make a point of putting as much distance as possible between yourself and that mud puddle.
