ReplyDeleteThat's interesting: I recognized myself in a sheep out of the herd, and dream about the herd to share my experience - view the herd as the fulfillment of my wandering because the freedom is in belonging, not in the loneleness
ReplyDeleteWe all have that sheep in us, plus the one that didn't!
ReplyDeleteReally like that analogy for freedom, Marty!
