Little Foxes

Consider Song of Solomon 2:15. At our OA meeting today, Joan quoted a favorite sermon she'd heard based on this verse, directing us to catch the little foxes that ruin the vineyard. This, in the context of the Tenth Step, makes a world of sense. It's the little foxes, darting here and there, bedeviling us, seemingly just a nuisance, until they take over and destroy the blooms in the vineyard of our recovery. Neat scripture. I've worked on a book of reflections on Ecclesiastes. Maybe the Song of Solomon should be next. But then again, there are other possibilities. Like the Letter to Philemon?

 

Have a good day, free of little foxes.
