AN ADULT PARABLE
The fisherman took the fish off the line and left it flapping on the concrete.
A young child and his father walked by. "Look, Daddy, the
fish is so happy, it’s dancing!"
Little did the young child realize the fish was gasping for air.
And so it is with the
excessive celebrating we see on holidays, and breaks from school or work.
Frantic activity, drinking, drugs, hilarious laughter, movements that look like dancing, yet surely are cries for connections and meaning.
Have a safe, sober, and blessed weekend.
