Straightening the (K)nots

"The pastures are shrinking rapidly."

"So are the spaces in people's hearts."

"We have to traverse treacherous slopes."

"We have hope where few dare to go."

"But we're forced to spend our lives outdoors."

"That's better than inhaling city smoke."

"We can't enjoy the comforts people own."

"They face more problems than you'll ever know."

"The vagaries of weather assault us."

"We grow stronger with all we face."

"Don't concrete houses keep people secure?"

"Meadows outshine any four-walled homes."

"I'm beginning to understand your views."

"Good. Now let's count the sheep and move."
