The Leader/Teacher asks for a volunteer, and the whole tribe goes motionless and silent. Not even a twitch of a muscle or blink of an eye . . . even as if all have encountered Medusa . . . that monster, a Gorgon, winged human female with living venomous snakes in place of hair.

Such tragedy yesterday . . . Proper perspective is important.
