Ecumenical Epiphany

"Not everyone digs holes."

The worker had a hard time believing the man. He had heard of people who were not in the business of digging holes, but had never really spent any meaningful time with them. In fact, the worker wasn't even sure that spending time with those who didn't dig holes was a good idea. Almost everyone the man knew dug holes. Most of them were his closest, most fast friends.

One should imagine that if one lives in a hole, those around him are of the same mind.

The worker has spent some time on the surface as of late...and while the change of pace is nice. His calluses are softening and he misses his spade.
