The Man and the Hole
A man went walking through the woods. As he walked he breathed deeply of the fresh air. His eyes and ears drank up all the beauty around him. Though he’d walked this path many times before, this time, He was so enthralled with what he saw and what he heard that he decided to stray from the beaten path. Distracted by creation, he lost track of time, and soon the sun plummeted below the horizon like a weary eyelid closing for rest; as it did shadows chased each other among the magnificent trees. One of these shadows happened to disguise a deep hole and tripped the man who fell down the deep shaft.

The Little Black Book and the Challenge
A strange thing happened to me last week. As I was sitting in my study reading, the bell rang. I went to answer, and as the entry to my portico swung and the morning light flooded through the room, I caught the silhouette of an unfamiliar figure standing on my stoop with a small package. He was a tall, well-dressed man. I said “hello.” He said, “message for you sir,” handed me the package, and turned and walked away. Confused, I took the package, politely said thank you, turned, and closed the door.
