Ok, here is another one of my observations. I love these little antedotes and thoughts of the day. For those of you who shutter at anything that is creepy and crawls, this may be a bit graphic for you. I'm in that group of people but this was just too fascinating to pass up. Yes, I did actually get down on my hands and knees to capture this photograph last summer of a wee little creature pulling what looks like a very large 3x its size and weight ... I think lunch? Ugh... the thought! This little ant pulled that bee up a hill and did it in no time flat!! I mean seriously, I looked away for a couple minutes and when I looked back I lost track of where it was only to discover that it was way further up than I ever would have imagined!! While the ant was pulling the bee kept getting hooked on the little rocks in the asphalt but it didn't deter him at all...at least I think it's a he? Wait I take that back it's probably a she .....aren't they the ones who bring dinner home?
Ok, that's a whole other observation for another day!
For today and in life, I want to be that ant!! He ..(I mean she) only has success on her mind. Struggling against all odds with everything that is in her way during an uphill battle to boot. To simply accomplish what needs to be done just to survive!! And she probably has to do this over and over again all day long!! What tenacitiy! What drive!! What persistance!! My observation of the day is; If we think like the ant what can't we overcome!!!
Next time to balance things out, I promise I'll metaphor a boy something or other!
