i'm totally with you about not provoking evil! though i'm still trying to figure out what you meant by your arm is twisted. i will have to think more on this. does your arm have a mind of its own? is it twisted because it's broken, because you did provoke evil? hmm....

...or maybe I had to provoke evil due to the fact that something or someone twisted my arm?...

Such great thought with so few words. You demonstrate to all perception at its best.

How poignant, Russell. There are enough challenges that enter our lives anyway, so who instigate or provoke evil. So what are you like when your "arm is twisted"? Very cool how you leave us wondering. Love, Carolyn
