Anthill



In my new location I found this anthill. I could finally take a photo of it. It was too dark in that forest without the snow.

This anthill is about my hight, that would be about 164 cm or 63 inches. The ant living there are about 8mm long. They build the hill with fir and pine needles. Think of it, how many needles is needed for that hill? An amazing work I´d say.

Now, this hill seems pretty solid don´t it? But looking inside we will see that there is merely empty space. But that empty space is filled with moving objects. The moving objects is life creating life in an endless row. They seem to be separate individuals, yet they are One life.

The needles forming the hill is leaning to each others in a pattern known only to the moving objects of the hill. They are separate needles, yet depending on the other to form the One hill. The lifeformes of the hill needs the hill to survive. The hill needs the lifeforms to be there. Both the lifeforms and the hill need the surrounding forest for its survival.

What is seemingly separate individuals is totally dependant of, and linked to, all others, ants, needles and forest. Without the total there is no individual. Without the individual there is no Total. All linked together as One.

Just had some fun with it to show the anthill
