This isn’t hard to get.
It’s a very simple picture.
Like the caribou herd,
the wildebeest herd,
the deer or elk herd.

Picture our earliest ancestors
moving up into the hills in spring
to dodge the summer valley heat;
back down again in autumn
to take advantage of the valley warmth.

Some stride in the lead,
full of energy and emotions.
Others lag behind,
dogged by impairments
of body, soul, mind and spirit.

BUT THEY ALL GO TOGETHER.

Eventually the leaders
will fall to the back.
Some of the laggers
will move on up.
Some will not.

BUT THEY WILL ALL GO TOGETHER.

We are the same.
We all go forward together
or we do not go forward at all.
