The Great Fable?

What if life is an allegory about Heaven? What if all of our loves and complications stand for something? Would that lend them weight? Would it lift all weight so that the whole story pointed toward one great love in a single, metaphorical gesture? And who am I in this story? The fox or the crow? Fox for some.....crow for some, maybe. Sometimes, I think I trick myself into singing just so that I can scramble after the cheese that had been in my beak all the time.
