A pause to introspection

Leader I, but by others’ whispers only as I stood in the crowd obscured. Can I lead or must I always follow? “the man” or just “a man” among many, with a sheep like existence my fate? what sobering descriptions have I cast upon myself ...

The Galilean! The Carpenter! let Him lead me, my thoughts, my actions And others shall follow by desire that which I've become ... Leader
