The mantis sits and waits patiently while maintaining a position that resembles praying. Similarly, clerics (monks, priests, rabbi, etc.) patiently hold positions of prayer. There are, indeed, positive results to maintaining deep stillness, which is proven by the patient praying mantis. Do you know someone who practices prayer or meditation or believes in the power of being calm? This strength of character should be openly acknowledged with words of admiration!

INSECTS sustain the Earth and all its inhabitants. They may be small and appear delicate but they are extremely profound and morally symbolic. They optimize the productivity of the universal machine and so do we!
