Just A Goat
From time to time people often tell me, "lighten up, it's just a goat". Or "that's a lot of money for just a goat". They don't understand the distance traveled, time spent or costs involved for "Just a Goat". Some of my proudest moments have come about with "Just a goat." Many hours have passed with my company being "Just a goat" and not once have I felt slighted. Some of my saddest moments were brought about by "Just a goat". In those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "Just a goat" provided comfort and purpose to overcome the day.
If you too think it's "Just a goat", you too will probably understand phrases like "Just a friend", "Just a sunrise" or "Just a promise". "Just a goat" brings into my life the very essense of friendship, trust and pure unbridled joy. "Just a goat" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of "Just a goat" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly into the future.
For me and folks like me, it's not "Just a goat". It's an embodiment of all hopes, and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past and the pure joy of the moment. "Just a goat" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
So the next time you hear the phrase, "Just a goat" smile because they "Just don't understand."
