Oklahoma Meditation

Kamp Krusty does it again. I laughed out loud when I read this.

"Please: Take time today, quietly, and think.

Try to block out the hustle-bustle of modern life.

Be settled. Be silent. And consider this:

1) You are, once again, placed in an arena the size of an NBA court.

2) You have no weapons.

3) You are sprayed down with female deer scent.

4) It's mating season.

How many bucks could you fight off? How long would you survive?

A friend of mine -- a wise, older brother, spiritually, and a deer hunter -- after quiet consideration, turned to me, looked up, tear in eye, and said -- and I'll never, ever forget this: "Zero".

He also shared with me, "About 20 seconds."

I appreciated his vulnerability. But what say you, friend?"

that's the beautiful thing Mark, multiple bucks means they have to fight each other and that'll take some time. I'm confident I could last hours, but that last buck...hmmm. I think I could take em. Vulnerable? No. Accepting of grace? Yes.
