During the war, a woman went to the Mojave Desert and lived in a camp with her husband. She hates that place: the heat is unbearable, 125 degrees, the wind keeps blowing, and there is sand everywhere-sand. Finally, in despair, she wrote to her parents in Ohio, saying that she couldn't stay there for another minute and she was going home.

Her father immediately sent her an airmail reply with only two lines: two people came out of prison. One sees mud, the other sees stars. My daughter thinks very carefully, not only thinking, but also from the heart. She decided to stay where she was.

She made friends with local people/aborigines, learned to love that country, and finally wrote a book about that country. The desert has not changed, but her attitude has changed. Because she listened to her father attentively, a new world opened up.

The change of attitude represents all changes.

After reading this article, I fell into deep thought. . .
