+------ Opportunity; David's Thoughts As Goliath Issued His Challenge To Fight

Before this, I remember rubbing rocks
over my slingshot’s rosin handle
beneath the moon, the
yellow slits of wolves’ eyes
circumscribing my flock. Praying
not so much for glory as the capacity
for ideation, for my thoughts, visions of me
to withstand the howling/growling of
doubts within and without. And now, my
answered prayer: Standing, I don’t see a
Giant Crass Philistine invulnerable. I see,
finally, a Shepherd’s way to rise
from the sheepfold’s itching grass to be King.

------1 Samuel 17:8-11
And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me. If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us. And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together. When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
