Do we take the time to realize that sometimes the "Bugs" in life are meant to bite us for a reason?
Sometimes the messaages of animals can be overlooked because we believe they are inferior to us.
If you look closer though, animals give us the insight of messages from the now. Animals are ever focused in the present, because that is all they have attention for. Fight or Flight, stay or go, they are always attentive to the present moment.
Othertimes, bugs are simply being bugs. Our definition of what is "bugging us" is really not worth fretting over.
I was about to meditate yesterday and for some reason I had the urge to go outside. The temperature was fine with a touch of humidity, but let's face it, it's Omaha/Midwest: I should be used to this by now.
Within meditation I kept feeling bugs crawling over my arms. I assumed they were a few flies and a small grasshopper, but I became so still they didn't bug me at all. In fact, they borderline tickled.
When I came out of my meditation, I genuinely smiled because I realized we look at flies especially because we deem them as annoying, or "bugging" us. No reason the song "shoo fly, don't bother me" exists, right?
Flies/insects are just doing their thing. I don't really think their goal is to look at us and think to themselves, "Oh yea, there's a human. Let's go fly over there and really crawl over them. Maybe we'll bug them so much they'll hit us."
People's reactions to other people's actions are kind of like flies. At our core we do what we do because we want to. Only our ego-centered selves deem other people's actions as "annoying" or "taboo".
...if you don't think that way, observe your actions and others' reactions to them: are you a fly to them? If so, does it really matter if you are a fly or not? You are simply doing what you are doing.
