The sparrows play and flutter about in the dirt.
Flapping their wings
They cleanse themselves with the soil.
If we did this
We would become dirty.
Requiring water to accomplish
The very same task,
We wonder how cleansing is possible?
Yet the same objective
May be reached by different means;
Sometimes, they appear as opposites.

Even if it’s something i could never dream of doing! j/L “Granny” Matrika / Rolling Buffalo Woman
Maybe we are missing something here? Perhaps, we should suggest to a Company like “Dove” or “Dial” to come up with a sand soap. This would save money on hot water bills and can be recycled in cat liter boxes, plants, and sand boxes. Just a thought . . .
