Ia By Henrietta Oldengarm 12F bthis balmy season, if the choice were mine to make, I'd Iike to be an ant. It would be Utopia for real: no prob- lems to worry about, no pro- found thoughts to confuse me, no labyrinth to boggle my mind — everything would be simple. The wind would allow me to burrow a silky tunnel through earth to my home. And, when the sun shines as golden as the ceilings of dandelions, I'd crawl outto the grass's sweetness -and earth's warm breath to get my food. Just as simple as that. But it's not my choice — I'm here on earth under my own golden sunlight with the dandelions at my feet. And, for us, a simple blade of grass does not lead our gaze directly into eternity; we follow the winding passages of the tree's, branches to the sky above. And then where? Oh, for a simple blade of grass! Ah_, but that sky, those billowing clouds. Right now, get up and look at the hea- vens. Not a glance, but a long,' deep search. Nowhere is the sky so promisingly blue, never 'so clear and playful. Now let your eyes drop to the treeline. Where it once was bare and skeletal, now it is full of green life or fra- grant white blossoms. And lower yet are the colored splashes of - flowers waving their tribute to spring. And the grass — even the drone of a lawnmower marks its wel- come. But, split the luscious clumps of grass and observe the ant. Their tiny black bodies twinkling in and out 4f the plants,, their paths winding in no apparent' direction, yet so deeply sure bf their destination. Spring and warmth and sweat smells of grass are always merely a heartbeat away. And then I know that to be au ant, to lead a life simple and sure is the best anyone could choose. ° F. E.
