Baby Grasshopper
I went for a long hike one Sunday afternoon. When I arrived home I had to use the restroom. So I sat down on my toilet and I realized that I had forgotten my phone. I was disappointed, but I was forced to be present. I looked down and on my pant leg there it sat. A baby grasshopper, staring at me. I could see it breathing as HE looked me dead in the eyes. I watched it slowly start to crawl up my leg, but I didn't let this rush me. When I was finished. I slowly walked outside and it jumped off my leg and hopped away. Thank you baby grasshopper, for keeping me present.
