O Hermit Crab!


Admire the hermit crab although so small possesses great determination endlessly fighting the rolling waves tumbling back and forth antennae over claws in his great search to find a lady love Who are we to give up so easily in the pursuit of our heart's desire with no physical tides to sway us but merely the whirlpools of our confused emotions threatening to pull us down and to make us disregard all romantic inclination In the search to fulfill our human needs we sometimes turn back when the waters seem too rough and retreat at the slightest challenge But next time, dear reader when you feel the pull of the moon trying to push you off-track remember the simple hermit crab for whom giving up was not a path
