I am Mule.  Part horse--part donkey--a hybrid bred to serve man's needs.  But I chose to inhabit this body--to learn what it could bring to Life.

          I am Mule.  You call me stubborn.  But I know this body now.  I know its strengths and limitations.  I know when it needs food--water--rest.  I will not push it beyond its limits.

          I am Mule.  Others may serve man beyond their strength.  They may continue past all reason.  They may sacrifice themselves to no good end.

          But I am Mule.  I set the limits.  Shoot me if you want, but I will not move when this flesh has reached its bounds.

          I am Mule.  Learn to know the limits of flesh.  Respect and honor the needs of flesh.  Flesh pushed to death for no good cause is opportunity wasted.
