The Bull is the Mind
The Bull wanders. It follows familiar paths. It can be stubborn, powerful, impulsive, and difficult to control.
So too can the habits of body, mind, and behavior. Recovery requires more than simply wanting a different life.
We learn the track. We train the mind. Eventually, the Bull knows the way home.
