Think Of The Ant And The Blade Of Grass Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Think Of The Ant And The Blade Of Grass

Rating: 5.0


Sit outside, if possible, or near a window
and note the other forms of life around you.

Breathe slowly and think of the ant
and the blade of grass
and the birds and animals,
what these life forms can do
that you cannot.

Think of the pebble
and the dancing leaves
and the stone bench.

Center your breathing on the interior things
that you can do what they cannot.

Rise slowly, feeling beautifully human,
and enter your day with the conscious intent
of praying consciously that only humans can do.

During the day raise your heart to God
with great reverence and gratitude.

Superb, your poem started with great imagery and then finally moved on to introspection and universal truth and ended with the submission to Almighty who created this world and all creatures...Amusing Poem, Sir.10+++

So quietly and preciously stated, Tony! You look at small details much like I do, tracing them all back to God prayerfully with reverence, gratitude and faith. Love how you spread it out like a garden of heavenly flowers. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
