Lightening the Load

The first thing we have to do

is to notice

that we've loaded down this camel

with so much baggage

we'll never get through the desert alive.

Something has to go.

Then we can begin to dump

the thousand things

we've brought along

until even the camel has to go

and we're walking barefoot

on the desert sand.

There's no telling what will happen then.

But I've heard that someone,

walking in this way,

has seen a burning bush.
