Zora Neale HurstonSome people could look at a mud puddle and see an ocean with ships.
About This Quote
A mud puddle is something most people would not consider to be an ocean. A mud puddle is a small water body, but it can be seen as more than that. It is the place where our world begins. It is the place where everything that was ever created came from.
Even though it is small, it can hold the world’s oceans. This quote reminds us that there are things even in small places that can hold everything else together.
