Soulful Connections

A cobbler may balance his trade, the mending of soles With that of a mender of souls, exchanging roles With a man of the cloth, making two Roman officials Wroth, in the opening scene of Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar' Yet when barefoot you walk, on cobblestone streets It's quite hard to focus on spiritual needs So there is, indeed, a connection between a man of the cloth and a cobbler Perhaps more than between an elected official and a squabbler

True; it is more difficult to care about being spiritual and or kind when one is suffering or out of shoes. "Yet when barefoot you walk, on cobblestone streets It's quite hard to focus on spiritual needs" NICE!

Yup. Can't argue with the jagged edges of 'barefoot on cobblestones.' Had to give Shakespeare a nod here. (He deserves so much more. 'White' of me, eh?) :) gw

I kind of like it too...That means it likely won't get much play on the Soup. Glad you found it. Thanks! :) gw
