To me, this splendid offering is about discernment, that is, the continual sifting out what gives life and what doesn't. It can take a "sassy carcass" (I love that!) to daringly proffer the prophet's truth-telling that can invite us to aspirations we didn't even know we had. And as we know, those truths are "written on the subway walls, and tenements halls." If I may respond to your poetic musings with poetry from George Herbert: "Love bade me welcome, but.........My dear, then I will serve. You must sit down, says Love, and taste my meat: So I did sit and eat."
I was moved by your tree of hopes from whose branches you are learning to select the fruit least likely to curdle your insides. I am becoming better acquainted with my own tree of hope, learning as I age which fruit is simply out of reach no matter how I might have once imagined climbing up that tree's branches. It is a bittersweet experience which allows me the pleasure of fond memories of things once hoped for yet not with regret.
I would totally love to go to a pub named The Sassy Carcass — LOL.
