As I walked downstairs to the office I was pondering how I could expand upon the video I took today – what had I observed today which corresponded.  I had no idea.  In sitting down at my computer I checked email first and received one from Twitter suggesting people to follow. 

This one caught my eye – I read the description, took another look at the picture and the smile which reached his eyes (yes I know – leaning towards opinion here – I’m trying to explain a gut feeling this person is genuine). So I clicked to follow, which takes me to their twitter page and the first tweet I read says…

So I clicked on it…read the article and then typed in my response. This was a bit of a revelation for me as I know why I write my DoWoos daily, but why did I write – period? My response read: 

Here is the video I shot today. Somehow between yesterday and today a troop of leaf cutter ants decided to set up their parade at the edge of our patio here in Costa Rica. 

You may be asking yourself…how does this writer asking why we write have a connection with leaf cutter ants?  

A part of me wants to state “Beats me!” and let that be it.  

My mind would spin if I left it as that.  The connection may be all about our journey. I am on my journey.  They are on their journey. I choose what I decide to do with myself.  They choose whether to pick up this leaf or that, go around this ant or that one, drop the leaf here or there. I can choose to follow the parade or not. I can choose to expand my thinking or not.  I can choose to write or not. It’s all still my journey.  

Nah, I liked the video!
AND I really enjoyed reading the article – it got me thinking.  

I’m having a blast!  You??

Thanks for sharing!
