Sometimes it is dangerous to be in the back. The folks might get too far out in front. You could be left in the dust. Or they might decide to kick, or kick-back. And there might be a big mess back there that is best just left behind.
Lesson 2: Don’t stand in front of a beehive.
Sometimes it is dangerous to be in the front. The folks might feel you are in their way, not respecting their pathways. They might decide to defend their territory by attacking, stinging with words or worse.
Bottom line: Each situation is different. Sometimes you are dealing with a horse; sometimes, with a colony of bees. Sometimes you need to in front, leading the way, staying out of the muck. Sometimes you need to be in back, following, observing, moving carefully and gently. In any case, the wisdom lies in choosing the place that honors the situation and keeps you safe.
And a third lesson: If you are with the farm dog, just try to keep up! Enjoy the walk, have a little fun, follow his nose, and go places together!
