Some things are so big, you can’t see them. You’re an ant on a horse’s back. You can smell horse. You are perched on a haunch, and can feel horse beneath your feet. But you can’t see the horse.

A lion can be pretty ferocious, but to an ant in his mane, the lion is just a tangled bit of real estate. The ant can’t see the lion, or feel its teeth. It wanders about, confused as the rest of us, or perhaps confidently focused straight ahead, another day of work, unaware he’s traveling on a lion's neck.

I sensed something powerful and amazing this morning, but am too tiny to see.
