Abstract

by other ants before. My anecdote, I was the proverbial headless chicken when I lost all of my typed speech in a computer due to a power loss. And the speech itself was, you guessed it, the next day. Quite the ordeal for the fourteen-year-old me.</p><p id="a3f0">But, just like an ant would do after a few back-and-forth attempts, we should also make a new way, forging a new path towards a destination, familiar or otherwise. Adaptability is, after all, our powerful trait, even from a biological sense. And we should learn to not get discouraged just because one block of the domino did not fall in time. Going back to my anecdote, that was the time I pushed into the extempore territory. And it was a whole new skill after that, the ant that made a new path.</

Some roadblocks ahead.

Ant marches on blind,

Path washed by a drizzle,

New trails forged.

A gap in reasoning, a writer’s block, an action not matching a thought, a word spoken before consideration — Daily life has so many examples of discontinuity, some our own doing, some done to us. When we encounter such a gap, it is not so uncommon to be a bit lost, much like an ant would, when it loses the well-defined trail left by other ants before. My anecdote, I was the proverbial headless chicken when I lost all of my typed speech in a computer due to a power loss. And the speech itself was, you guessed it, the next day. Quite the ordeal for the fourteen-year-old me.

But, just like an ant would do after a few back-and-forth attempts, we should also make a new way, forging a new path towards a destination, familiar or otherwise. Adaptability is, after all, our powerful trait, even from a biological sense. And we should learn to not get discouraged just because one block of the domino did not fall in time. Going back to my anecdote, that was the time I pushed into the extempore territory. And it was a whole new skill after that, the ant that made a new path.

Did you ever have a ‘headless chicken’ moment in your life? How did you get around, or above, it? I would love for you to recollect that in the comments!
