As a kid, I used to lie on the ground and watch the busy little ants at work. Sometimes one got hopelessly stuck when faced with an obstacle. I would do what any sweet little girl (unlike a boy, ugh!) would do – I removed the obstacle. 100% of the time the ant would run away scared!
Isn’t that what we do when we awaken to the absence of a long-cherished obstacle? We take out our psychology, philosophy, hermeneutics and explain away what was just the greatest awakening of our tiny little lives?
