Matthew 10:16
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
The serpent drags across the earth. Seemingly vulnerable...seemingly weak. Yet the serpent studies his prey. He knows all vulnerability. He knows where to strike to cause the most damage and his venom is meant to immobilize and sometimes...even kill.
The dove is beautiful and his domain is the sky. White and pleasing to the eye. There is no danger to him and he is revered as the symbol of peace. The "end to war and battle"...mercy...
What is the man that masters the where and the when? What is the man that can war to the end, self-assured of victory, that can show mercy when wisdom lets him know it will be more effective? He is unstoppable. Loved and feared...
Honored and despised...all at the same time...
That is a free man
What fear and joy is there when you begin to see the beginnings of such a creature emerging within...
