Stirring the Mud: On Swamps, Bogs, and Human Imagination

A quote from this book:
"The mud of the swamp reminds me of what I daily forget: something is always stirring, nuzzling, and trying to lick us into shape. We are more malleable than we know, more flexible and lithe, still 90 percent water, still pliant enough to be stirred, congealed into something we can only guess at. This notion of our concrete selves-I, you, they-as beings within our rigid armor, it’s all clumsy, a brittle scaffolding.”
