Worms

Today I learned alot from a worm, yes, I said a worm. I was moving some rocks with a shovel when suddenly I uncovered a big worm (at least I hope it was only a big worm). I picked it up with my shovel and moved it to the grassy area just beyond the rocks I was moving when I had one of those moments, you know the kind I mean! I had accidently nicked it a little with the shovel when I first uncovered it, that was what made me think....aren't we just like that! We are all comfy buried in our lil rock garden paradise when ...WHAM! here comes a shovel and nicks us, just a little ,not enough to kill us but enough to make us sit up and start paying attention. How many times have you been unexpectedly hit by the shovel of life? I checked on it later on and it had moved on to bigger and better rocks somewhere I hope or maybe it went underground for a bit. (I've done that a few times and come back out again later when the coast seems to be clear). Just like us when we are slightly maimed by lifes trials and at the time it seems like it maybe fatal but soon we just move on a little wiser and maybe with a little limp. All in all I learned alot from that worm.
