Some people are like sand crabs,
Scurrying over the sand, enjoying the sun,
But at the first sign of danger
Hauling it back to the safety of their tunnel,
Cowering in complete darkness
Waiting for the danger to disappear
Others are more like moths
Attracted by the light
Unaware of the danger
Interested only in
Satisfying their desires which
Ultimately might seal their fates
We need to take a hard and critical look
At our own lives and our own decisions
Are we more like sand crabs, or like moths
Do we close our eyes to the beauty of life
Just because we are afraid we might get hurt?
Or do we embrace it fully, completely unafraid?
Knowing when to scurry into the tunnel
And when to soar towards the light
Determines the quality of our life
And the degree of our happiness
Each one of us needs to find his/her own
Balance to live in harmony with our self
