There was a book my parents gave me when I was a kid that I loved it was called life of the ants, or something like that, translation is not exact. In it it detailed everything you could want to know about how ants live, specially about how they organize they incredibly sofisticated social life. I recomend that great book, but maybe it is for kids.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I cannot go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know? I hear my being dance from ear to ear. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you? God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there, And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree, but who can tell us how? The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me; so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go.

Now, I've got to see this. I love when my dog stretches and yawns, but ants!?
I am so glad to hear they take a break....at all!
marianna: I get a lot of learning out of kids' books. In fact in an adult text when i don't get something, I go to a teeny bopper level explanation
