And some say that the beasts are shrubberies. ("Bring me a shrubbery! One that looks nice. And not too expensive.")
The question that I ask is whether thinking one version of what a beast is v another version has any significance to my living today? Might the important thing be to understand that things get more difficult? (They always will.) And that we should be ready to live as we have been charged no matter what we face?
I know.
