The pageantry of humanity marching across the face of the Earth as civilizations come and go requires an eternal perspective to appreciate. From a myopic perspective, the transience of human lives seems tragic.
From nature, we can learn some of our greatest lessons, including the indomitable will to survive. This unstoppable love of life is a significant factor in mastering life and death.
Size is not a considering factor in the ability of lifeforms to contribute to the whole. The smallest ladybug on the edge of a leaf contributes equally to the contribution of a massive blue whale. Every note is equally important in the imposing rendition of an orchestra performing a symphony.

So beautiful, I love these post. Thank you
#3 The ladybird on the edge of a leaf…is happy indeed. But the daddy-longlegs trapped in the slick bathtub, the cricket and butterfly trying to find their way back outside…need a hand. My husband even rescues ants: when a log for the woodstove turns out to be home for some of these tiny ones, he takes it back out, even though we are often low on wood for our only source of heat.
For one family occasion I found a lovely card of a dragonfly for him. As I settled back to write a little greeting, it’s the Bugs who took over! From their Poetic Perspective:
Dear Friend of Bugs
Many of our Tribes
Owe to you our lives.
Only a few ?
In numbers of little lives…
A Few.
In numbers of connected Beings
…Many.
Through your Heart we feel our Connection renewed
Each time you ‘save’ one of our small members.
Grace be yours as you sense the One
~ the Bugs and B
And the bug-catchers two 🐾 🐾
…”the bug-catchers two”? Alas, cats will be cats.
Dear friends of bugs you dance in my heart too, beloved Barbara thank you
Thank you Sara 💚
