Mojo, The Bard, & Me

 

Your son, my lord, has paid a soldier’s debt:

He only lived but till he was a man;

The which no sooner had his prowess confirm’d

In the unshrinking station where he fought,

But like a man he died.

 

-Ross

Macbeth                          Act V, Scene viii, Line 42

The unshrinking station. I love that. You don’t hear that being used, but you could. Will is talking about a battle station, but you could apply this to any station in life. A parent’s need to always be there to care for a kid is an unshrinking station. A breadwinner’s need to always be supporting their family is an unshrinking station. It goes on and on.

So that’s our two words for the day: unshrinking station. Got it?

Keeping up on this blog is an unshrinking station.
