Your post had me think about reading somewhere how if insects were our size they would be having super-human strength with their ability to withstand really large falls and jump so high. I appreciated your caution against limiting beauty/wonder to perfection only and that beauty/wonder can include "all of it."

I love that imagining of size, Reema. I have tended to think of it more from what their view is of us, if they have one. I know that even a small finger moving toward an ant has an effect that makes it scurry away, curious what its senses are. So much beauty and wonder everywhere! Enjoy what comes to you that way as you take the next month off.

I've been pondering similar wonders lately. I like that you thought so much about that tiny insect on your windshield. They are built of stronger stuff than it may seem to us.

I think if and when you are in your favorite place in Maine this summer that you will relish so many wonders! These little beings pull me in more and more.
