The first spring flowers appear yellow gold along the creek. As I looked closer, I saw a tiny ant crawling on a petals. I wonder what drives ants. Is it simply instinct or do they actually think about what they are doing. Are they just robots of the creator, or do they like we, think beyond themselves and wonder, “What else is out there?”

Great poem. You posted a good question. Sometimes the ants here came out searching for water. Many of them attacked my hummingbird feeders. I know why though. 🙂

Great poem and it is a good practice, to try and see from another perspective.
Ants actually communicate my feromones, they leave messages as the scuttle around, “food this way” or “soldiers needed” and maybe sometimes “why are we here?”.. 😊

They can even communicate their numbers, how many workers to soldiers and those numbers stay the same as if workers die, the messages go to the hive that then nows to breed new ones from the little eggs.
