Monday, August 18, 2003 AD An Issue With an Illustration Rick Saenz has written on the HSC weblog (which has a nice, clean new design, by the way) about sheep and pastures. I wonder though if the picture is quite right. I wonder if the sheep shouldn't be painted outside a fence that marks off a small no-no zone from the vast freedom of the Shepherd's pasture. I think we could still have the three categories of sheep, but the third group would be broader and freer if the picture were painted this way. Not huddled at the center of the enclosure, but gamboling on the green hills all 'round. I think this reflects the description of Eden, where there was bounty and freedom and just one forbidden tree.
