Becoming The Bull

Back and forth the struggle consumes us all
Trying to keep a level head
In the most unsettling of times
Today I’ll become the bull.

—Atreyu, “Becoming The Bull”

There I go again, quoting from rock music lyrics. Hey, who says wisdom is relegated to great works of literature? In this thoughtful verse, Atreyu reminds us that no matter what kind of strife surrounds us, keeping a level head will allow you to “become the bull,” i.e., you can take control of your charge. In these most unsettling of times, I think this is great advice for us all.
