I find that, contained in this tiny creature, the universal force of expansion and contraction is expressed so eloquently.  The impetus of movement.  The breath.  The expansion moves into a contraction, and the contraction moves into the expansion.  The two opposites become the same.  When I reach this paradox, it is the closest to truth I can get.  I borrow the energy; let it animate through me to pull my deviant body back into alignment with the matrix.
