    The Nature of Things
    “Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business.” – Joshua 2:14 

    No one noticed Rahab’s window dressing 
    at first.  Several men winked to the young

    men knocking around her door.  However, 
    after several months, Gwen told Gabby 

    about the scarlet decoration 
    and soon a blind fad started.

    The Nature of Things Empty I know this story, of course.

    I'm delighted with Gwen and Gabby.  So fun.  Such a delightful twist.  
    I'd never imagined others modeling after Rahab and adding a scarlet cloth.  Smile  That's thinking outside the box!


    This makes me think a little deeper.  Fads would have been a part of the culture then, too, so....

    I think about when the walls came tumbling down, doom for everyone except Rahab and her relatives.  So "blind" fad is VERY appropriate.  

    Good one.

    about the title.... 

    A deal was made. An unusual deal. It might be "beyond the nature of things."
