Who Leads

I lead and you
watch my back –
or I can follow
humbly taking turns;

It is not about ego
but about the greater
good – about letting go
and letting God....

Amen to that, Joe. Let go and let God have His wonderful way. One of my favorite church songs is, "He Leadeth Me". Smiles ~ Blessings my friend. Bill

Thank you, Bill; my wife Ila sang that lovely hymn often when she was affiliated with her church.

Your words for greater good resonate with me. Everyone does the part--lead or follow-- matters not except to the ego. So succinctly conveyed.
