….and we continue:

It was less than 5 rain seasons since good Bladubo found his eternal peace in the sand when the villagers were almost all living their sand cult. Every week they would meet and they were so numerous that in both villages they had to build large places where they would meet, close to a sandy hill. They plastered the place to ease the walk there for the elder villagers and in order to set a contrast to the sand on the hill’s slope. The place was bigger than 100 camel skins on each side.
After their ritual, the villagers would slowly walk back to their village, to the canal or lake, they sometimes took a swimming camel and admired the miracles that the sand created for them. And in the evening, they sat on their stone towers, playing with their lights, and would talk about the blessings of the sand.

Soon, they built little stony houses next to their houses, without window, but all filled to the roof with the finest and most yellow sand they could find. They decorated these houses and the most serious followers of the sand cult would eat a little bit of this holy sand every evening, after diner. The Naked Camel, symbolizing the miracles and beauty of the sand, was also given such a stony house, all decorated with silvery plates, and it too would eat some sand that was mixed into its grassy diet.

With every rain season ending, the villagers would celebrate the sand in a big feast. They packed the most beautiful camels they had, decorated them and the entire village went with the rising sun into the desert, celebrating the goodness of the sand. When they arrived at the most sandy place at a few hours distance from the village they made a fire with camel dung, and drank the milk of their animals. They enjoyed the peace of the desert and praised the sand for their modern life. After three days in the desert they would walk back, spiritually enriched and relieved that a shady home was waiting for them. They would take a bath in the canal,  and, sitting on their towers, they watch into the plain with all the lights, and they dream the dreams of tomorrow.
