The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: "If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?" But... the good Samaritan reversed the question: "If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?"-- Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dogs. Dawgs. Other critters. Life as Oliver Wendell Douglas. Live heirlooms, both flora and fauna. Self-sufficiency. Suffering not a fool to live. Land stewardship. Turnip trucks, and those who have not fallen therefrom. Training things. Growing things. Search and rescue. What is this bug and what is it doing under my desk light? Embracing the reality that Nature Bats Last.

Well stated...
ReplyDeleteYou know, that Samaritan story just never gets old. Believe me, I know. 'Cause for Christmas, my son's Godfather gave our kids a DVD of Jesus' life, and that's one of the stories. I have probably watched it 20 times at this point, and in really hokey cartoon form, no less.
ReplyDeleteStill, no complaints. A very sound parable.
