Of sheep and shepherds

David Murray draws on his Highland experience to speak of sheep and of shepherds.

Sheep are . . .

• foolish.
• slow to learn.
• unattractive.
• demanding.
• stubborn.
• strong.
• straying.
• unpredictable.
• copycats.
• restless.
• dependent.
• the same everywhere.

The shepherd is a sheep.

The shepherd . . .

• is patient with his sheep.
• knows his sheep.
• values his sheep.
• loves his sheep.
• observes his sheep.
• feeds his sheep.
• leads his sheep.
• speaks well of his sheep.
• pursues his sheep.
• rests his sheep.
• perseveres with his sheep.
