The
first thing I noticed about this priest is that he holds a shepherd's
crook for a staff. Now I have never used such an object to herd or
rescue a sheep, but I have used the one they have at pools (very long!)
in rescues as training for a lifeguard class. Part of me looks at this
guy and sees the rules/dogma he holds in his hand and the bulls on his
throne and think, "No thanks." But the other part of me sees the staff
and wonders how many people he may keep out of harm's way because of his
influence. Does he guide with an iron fist or with a compassionate
heart? That to me would make all the difference.
From The Circle, "Consequence:"
From The Circle, "Consequence:"
Something
is dropped in water, making a small splash, but concentric circles of
water ripple out from the point of contact. What a perfect pictorial
symbol of how my words or actions can have an effect in ways I never
even considered! Which is why I need to "pause for the cause" and think
before I act or speak. Impulsiveness rarely has positive
consequences...
