The Quiet Miracle of the Praying Mantises
A Spring Discovery
One spring morning, I noticed a cluster of praying mantises hatching from a small, foam-like case outside my door.
Each one, no bigger than a fingernail, moved with delicate purpose —
a quiet reminder that life continues, often unseen but full of meaning.
Tiny Survivors
Born without wings, the hatchlings climb leaves and walls with surprising skill.
Within days, they hunt flies and mosquitoes, restoring balance to their surroundings.
Their patience and precision reflect qualities we often strive to master.
Mindfulness in Motion
To watch a praying mantis is to witness stillness and awareness in perfect harmony.
Long seen as symbols of peace and balance, they remind us that stillness is not inaction but focus and presence.
A Gentle Lesson
As they vanished into the garden, I realized that life’s deepest lessons arrive quietly —
through patience, courage, and the grace to begin again.
