How is your Savor?

For anyone who lives near or in a community shrouded in thick woods or forest it is not uncommon to pounce upon a four-footed animal--the victim of vehicular assault. Most recently, I had the strangest reaction to the sight of a deer that had seen better days. To add insult to its injury, a ferocious and hugh black crow was enjoying an all it could eat buffet. That got me thinking! How did the crow know where the carcass was? Do they have spy crows who survey the land for such opportunities? Or did the deer's savor-- its distinctive scent--provided enough clues? Well, that made me wonder about us--humans. What kind of scent do we give off when things or situations seem to be "dead" in our lives? Do we give off scents of frustrations? Do we give off scents of hopelessness?

I envisioned my head sufficiently greased and neatly groomed in the most exotic natural style. So I gave in...to an extent. Of course, one of the requirement was to cut off the relaxed portion so the new growth could flourish. In other words, start over. Well, that was a problem. I refused to cut off my shoulder length tresses! Oh no, the old and new must figure out how to co-exist. If the wheat and tares can grow together..... Then it hit me. How often have we embarked upon a new idea, an opportunity or a new relationship and the only requirement for us to seize the prize is to let go of the old stuff. Do we kick and scream because we don't want to give up the old- the familiar? Are we afraid to disconnect the old relationships? You see, dealing with the new growth requires deliberate and dedicated effort--a relationship...
