What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs in the evening?
A Human Being
In our infancy we crawl, in our grown years we walk on two feet, and in our elderly years we add the use of a cane. (This is a rampant generalization, which I generally abhor, but for the sake of this foray into the forest of my mind - I am going to add a big stick - though I do surely think many folks will dance through their elderly years, sans cane.)
The Kings of Leon cd "Only by the Night" - is excellent. It is one of the few cds, besides a Tool or Perfect Circle cd that does not have a single song on it that I just want to skip over after the first listen in order to get to my favored songs. The WHOLE thing is great. It offers the song - Crawl - which made me think of a person, or a being, that wishes to see some progress made by another on the road towards true humanity. I probably do not interpret words in the same way as many - I think the song Revelry refers to the traditional wake up call to troops - some guy loved his woman, but the lure of battle danced through his mind. I could be wrong, but the great thing about music is that it does become something personal to each individual that hears it - regardless of what the artist intended at the point of creation.
I was thinking about an Angel, my friend, my Guardian - the one who soothed my feet, the one who found me in the midst of a dream storm. I am sure that I must progress in my quest for true humanity or my Angel may have to leave me without the wisdom God wishes to bestow. So I turn my mind to studying. I study the Bible and the work of scientists. I know that the two can intertwine - God and intelligent people. I have faith. And inspiration.
