Gotta Love The Aha Moment

---

This old gal…

Was walking in Texas when what to her wondering eyes did she see…little pieces of leaves bobbing up and down…seemingly moving in a straight line all by themselves…

Stopped and investigated and found hundreds of tiny ants working together hauling pieces of leaves to their underground nest…

Marveled at how hard they worked…how they came together as a community…each doing their part to build a better little ant world…

Thought about this being a lesson for humanity…celebrating these ants and their amazingness for like all of five minutes…and then moved on…

Until wouldn’t you know…months later…a summer storm raging outside…Saturday morning kids’ shows on the TV…and a segment came on about the leafcutter ant…

Cuts leaves…hauls leaves…takes them to their nest to turn to fungus which they later eat…amazing…powerful…the only known farmer ant…

And there it was…the Aha moment…simple minded me loves the Aha moment…when pieces come together…

Kind of like a community…or a bunch of little ants…who want to make the world…a better place…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
