Metaphor; a camel that can exist in very dry places, can walk easily on sand, long lashes to protect the eyes from the blowing sand, and other unique attributes.. The metaphor being carrying a hump of information not water..
This planet being a dry place, a desert of real information/data about how to get off this place.. A place dry and parched.. inhabited by cacti and predators..
I sometimes feel like a rose born again into a camel..
i.e. the "rose of sharon" has unique meaning of a rose existing in a desert(Sharon)..
And roses like you, dear brother in Christ!
