There’s a fox amongst the sheep A killer in the valley green The sheep graze so lazily As the killer remains unseen Moving stealthily in purpose Within the ranks of innocent sheep Waiting to devour A chance for eternal sleep It’s more than the thrill of the kill, The hunt is everything For if we cannot control the body, Then our souls cannot take wing And that is what brings rhyme to reason Against the mind, stand the eyes to treason |

For if we cannot control the body, Then our souls cannot take wing... One of the basic tenets of spirituality here--and probably my greatest failing!  Seriously tho, loved the fox and sheep metaphor--this is quite the thoughtful read! |

"Against the mind, stand the eyes to treason" *sigh* it's always like that... provacative... a good read to wake me up today. You gotta love livin, cause dyin's a pain in the ass. |

Yes, but sometimes the sheep aren't quite as helpless as one might think.... Kathleen Blake |
