Touch Another Life ...

Next time when a grass hopper accidentally flies into you and sits on your forearms, do not shriek and violently shake it away.

Look at it.

Look at its legs. Slender legs. Tiny horns on the legs. Legs, green and bent, moving at the will of the grass hoppers brain. Look at its antennae waving in the air, feeding its brain with a plethora of sensory inputs probably unfamiliar to you. Look at its compound eyes, a thousand tiny eyes, and the grass hopper looking into the world through the thousand of them. Look at its filmy wings, that gives it flight, so that it can move from one point to another without touching the earth.

See how all these fit together into it, see it moving slowly on your skin; as a whole being.

Its another life.
