There is a sort of caterpillar called the "Processional Caterpillar," which walks in long lines, each one following closely the next in front.
Now a certain man, Le Fabre by name, once saw a number of
these marching round the stone vase in his garden. He got some more of them
& filled up the gap between the tail & the head of the procession &
watched to see what the caterpillars would do.
They went on following each his neighbor in front; they
walked round that vase for a week & covered nearly a mile of distance.
Don't be processional caterpillars, with your nose glued to
your neighbor's back & no thought as to where he is leading you, or whether
he is worthy to be followed at all.
Follow the Christ, the King.

Luke 6:39 (CEV): Jesus also used some sayings as he spoke to
the people. He said: Can one blind person lead another blind person? Won’t they
both fall into a ditch?
“Take heed, therefore, blind leaders of the blind;
hard-hearted and stubborn hypocrites, take heed.” - William Tyndale.
