INVOCATION OF THE LIGHT

The meditation space becomes everything they used to tell me about when I was little. A small burrow in the lungs of a chicken. And then you daydream for a long time. Ants. Ants are a family of insects that live in large communities resembling cooperatives. In addition to winged males and females, there are many more wingless individuals. They all have a venom gland that predominantly secretes formic acid. They release the acid through a stinger, but if they lack one, they first make a wound with their mandibles, then spray it with the secretion. Workers and soldiers are often distinguished by the size of their heads and the tasks they perform.
