Dogs

A man strides along the road with a stick and a quick, smooth motion. A dog with a bouncy gait follows close behind. From a field, another dog hobbles over to the man. The man walks the road and other dogs, hopping and jostling, come from the fields and towns to follow him. I see then that they are all three-legged dogs. I call to the man, “Why three-legged dogs?” He does not speak or break stride but turns to me and lifts his stick ever so slightly to indicate the road ahead and I am following him still.

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord!
