“squirrel hunting for dinner”

Sometimes you say something –

and people hear something else.

the old carny trick holds more truth than many a sacred text.

“Come see the Man Eating Chicken” –

the horror,

the savagery!

yet, all of that are interpretations are true.

Listen for the truth.

Sometimes even when we listen,

we don’t pay attention –

Sometimes even when we pay attention,

we are not listening to what is being said.
