TRIUMPH OF SPIRIT IN LOVE, NATURE & ART

It’s All Relative

P1000756 copy

In the land of the giant Lily

the little ant is King! *

Man thinks himself giant, so important, even grandiose, at times,

when, in relation to the universe,

he is of microscopic stature,

 less in size than the tiniest of insects

who live in a veritable macroscosm beneath our feet.

(Adapted from the proverb: ” In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.”

    The contrast is so humbling. It is a lesson we can all feel and live in our lives.
