Sombre in colour, ragged edged and without interesting form or texture,
why is this lichen a captivating focal point in a photograph?
It pales in comparison to more colourful flowers, or plants or trees.
It is like some people who rise above their average
appearance to have a strong presence.
If Gandhi wore Armani or if Mother Teresa wore Prada,
would they have had more impact?
