The Ant

The ant walks across the pitted cement sidewalk on its way. So in tune with the universe but totally unaware of its smallness. It toils to its being and disregards contraction.

Man speeds off to nowhere believing his mission is important. He is full of ego and contraction. He is bound by his attachment. His freedom is perceived but never really felt. If his freedom were ‘real’ he would not be here. He can only try to expand. With this expansion will he truly feel release.

Our walk across the pitted cement should be no different from the ants. The burdens we carry are our own. Should we choose to discard them and the attachment we feel to them, we too will be free.
