"Chronicles of an Allotment"

Saturday, September 11, 2004

The beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground.

As people here spoken of, we set forth again to the allotment to work it and to keep it. We made separation between the good raspberry bushes and the evil and wicked weed. And while the summer season progressed in the year 2004, Alastair went along with the people and joined them, together with his younger brother, Peter, who is the greatest among the Roberts.
Then they observed the creatures sustained by every green plant that was given to them and remembered how it is written, that "The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea. Everything that lives and moves will be food for you."
















Everything that lives? Well, yes, "but you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it."...

Bon appétit!

Ah Peter, you should read that in the proper context:
About the Enakites, Joshua 14v15:
Arba, who was the greatest man among the Anakites.

About Job, Job 1v3(end):
He was the greatest man among all the people of the East.

About you, Matt 23:11:
The greatest among you will be your servant.

Let's just say the particular choice of wording is inspired in to great extend by 'something' indeed.
