Ambedo- The Anthill

Quote: "Ambedo- a kind of melancholic trance in which you become completely absorbed in vivid sensory details- which leads to a dawning awareness of the fragility of life." — J. Koenig I saw a large round anthill in the dirt and marveled at the intricate design of what they were about. My heart was sad, and yet, without a thought, I moved away to let the grader push ahead- right through their little world; at once they disappeared. What purpose to it all? They worked so hard to have it end like that- never knowing the what, how, when, or why? I brushed a tear beneath my eyes- my eyes, which saw no line, between these tiny ants and us; between- this simple grader leveling the ground, with such destructive, unexpected force- and seismic tragedies- or cosmic shifts- destroying this, our world- from time to time.
