Ant

Sitting outside earlier, there was an ant wondering around with one antenna. Poor thing couldn't quite find it's way, though it knew where it wanted to be. It ended up going around in circles, though slowly making it closer to it's destination. Eventually it did get there, but it took time, and considerable effort.

As I watched this, I could not help but think how like this ant we are, trying always to reach the goal, striving to be close to Hashem and do what is right. Yet, we have but one antenna, limited senses and we get side tracked. Eventually though, we do make it, we keep trying and we do.

  1. positive attitude.

    unfortunatly, we dont always make it. very much like this ant, sometimes we throw up our hands in frustration, storm out of the room, give and and say, sorry G-d,
    I tried, and now I give up.

  2. Must you be so pessimistic?

    After the ant was wondering for a while, there came some more, two antennaed ants. They helped guild him along. There is always a way, and when we can't find it on our own, there are those who have already found it to help us.
