I do not really know I could have saved him but I didn't, I just watched him and I learnt. I'm not sure exactly what.

I watched an ant cross a desert, to him a barren wasteland, he lost his way, how was he to know, forced to wander forever more till the desert claims his soul. On and on forever more not knowing where to go, did he contemplate his fate? would he ever again have company, a mate? I do not really know I could have saved him but I didn't, I just watched him and I learnt. I'm not sure exactly what. I could have killed him or of saved him but I did not, I sat and watched a lonely ant cross his desert. I learnt all he had to teach and will use the lesson in due time,
when there comes a point that I must cross a desert which is mine!
