Harsh words it may seem but ever too true to heart. I wondered at the audacity of an ant as it worked its way about my bathroom sink. He and his companion thought nothing of the fact that at any moment a voluminous wave of mouth wash or saliva could come spiraling down upon them and end they minuscule existence. I felt a bit like an evil conqueror as I decided their fate. Well, I had to rinse my toothbrush so on came the water. Down down down they went but not after putting up quite a fight. They struggled to find their way around the water, yet failed. I can just imagined their last words to each other as they struggled to remain above the rushing waves that roared about them...morbid, some would say, but some would call it poetic.
So the point of this pointless gesture? Well, often times I stop and wonder at the beauty and extravagance of life. Sometimes I do this to a fault and I begin to over analyze. My brain then begins to malfunction and I become a jellyfish and melt away into a puddle of disorganized thoughts. I don't know that I'll ever put up as good a fight as those little ants did who didn't truly have any purpose in life but to explore the drain and tell their fellow counterparts of the marvelous wonder of tile (how it soothes the aching feet, etc.). Can I be as the ant? Never stopping to look back but to only move forward? Even if it means getting washed down the drain time and time again...I'll be all the cleaner.
