       I am as tiny as any ant at every scale that matters. It is a kind of therapy, a little protest, to track of the life of a particular, singular ant. To give her a name. To introduce her to you in defiance of the concept of insignificance. There are billions.I can never comprehend the complexity, the beauty & secrets of all lives. And that is very tragic. Every single one is valuable. Every single one is a hidden tapestry redolent with threads, golden strands bound up in yet other lives.

       @futurebird That sounds very much like a Buddhist philosophy. Respect for ALL forms of life, no matter how small.

       @futurebird I think named ants are wonderful.
