Insignificant (Updated with a Silly Title)


As I was opening the front gate to leave for work yesterday, I spotted this tiny fellow. Couldn't resist taking a snapshot of him.

It got me thinking. We are in many ways like this little creature, cast upon a huge world, filled with uncertainties, challenges and obstacles. It is little wonder we are often intimidated into feeling how insignificant and helpless we are. . . hence the lifelong search for meaning.


Oh... and for those with not-so-good eyesight, I've taken the liberty of blowing up the insect, oops, I meant picture (What were you thinking, Annie?) And in case, you're wondering, it's a baby praying mantis.



And on a sillier note, got 'bestowed' with this silly Title off Sherman's blog..

My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is:
His Most Serene Highness Lord Jonzz the Scattered of Hope End
Get your Peculiar Aristocratic Title

Dear jonzz, this is the hunter of the insect world! innocent numbers scramble for their lives when they see it.

AND BTW, he is a relative of your not so glamorous cockroach!!!

Seeing that creature gave you certain thoughts, reading that it is a "praying" mantis....reminds me of the power of prayer

KAKAKAKAKAKAK

HOW did YOU KNOW I was thinking if you blew up the insect? Jonzz knows Annie too well.... I was going to ask if you accidentily stepped on the bug. I don't like bugs.. *shudder*. SQUASH.. that's my answer to how significant bugs are. tee hee.. They make that icky squishing sound when you "accidently" step on them.

Most Serene Highness Lord jonzz? LOL! Do I need to bow to you now?
