Co-Existence...

I stopped in my tracks as we stared at each other for a brief few seconds. Sharing both time and space in an ephemeral moment once in a billion years. She had every right to attack and sting me...the way humankind has treated her and her extended family. But she didn't. I was very grateful. I don't intentionally kill bugs anymore. Large or small. Live and let live was the lesson she taught me that day. I am eternally grateful and humbled for my little fuzzy hardworking Kumu...my sweet Teacher...
