Shepherd's-Purse

We find ourselves wondering where the generally unobtrusive **, Shepherd's-Purse, fits into God's Great Creation. If it had never Existed, what else would cease to Exist: or perhaps Exist?

According to Botanist, William Coles (1657), the name Shepherd's-Purse derives from the likeness of the Seed to the Leather Bag/Purse, used by Shepherds to carry their Food and Drink, when they went out into the Field:

It is impossible to imagine what life must have been for a Shepherd at that time (we assume a Shepherd probably wouldn't have been able to either read or write).

** unobtrusive perhaps but with a pretty impressive Latin name viz. Capsella bursa- pastoris.
