3/12/14 RMB Ant Chatting
Dear Rita Mae Brown,
Today filled with activity, especially at work, people and books,
conversations and correspondences a plenty. Once outdoors, walking off the day,
I mused at all that transpired. I took an extra deep breath, letting it out along
with the day’s stresses.
My favorite interaction occurred between my boss and the Pastor’s
dog. Maria is dog sitting Shelby for her Pastor. Shelby rushed into the office
delighted to meet new faces with new scents. In our boss’s office, she was more
excited that a person was offering her treats than in the treats themselves.
With her she brought a wagging tail and relief to a tense day.
As I walked, the Rainbow Bear Light Dancer-Ten Bears message came
to me. Those are messages that I have started sending to a friend with a bear
Indian guide, Rainbow Bear Light Dancer, from my Indian guide, Ten Bears. It’s
a kind of “thought for today” thing. I plan on posting them on the blog, but
have not yet found the perfect way to do so. I really like this one, so I’m
including it here to thank you for being a part of this life’s conversation.
All my best,
Loraine
Kind
and Patient Rainbow Bear Light Dancer,
If a
traveler stops to rest in the forest and has a conversation with an ant, what
wonders would the traveler learn? Would the ant be grander for the exchange?
If the
traveler and the one met in the forest were both ants, would they hold a conversation
at all, or simply fall into step with one another, working their tasks as is
their habit?
And if
a human traveler met another human on the path, would they both stop to chat?
Or would they simply fall into step with one another, working their tasks as is
their habit?
And we
think ourselves superior and wise.
Remind
us with your words and your smiles Rainbow Bear Light Dancer, to stop and visit
awhile, to exchange our wisdom, to make one another grander than we would
otherwise be.
Your
companion on all your travels,
Your wonderful
friend Ten Bears
