(Google image search: lady bird on keyboard)

At work I saw a lady bird on my desk and I was transfixed. My eyes followed this little dot crossing the vast landscape of my desk and navigating over my keyboard.

As she was about to step of the keyboard, she scratched her back with her right leg. I continued watching her for some extra seconds until my consciousness was puled back in to work and I lost sight of her.

Only I had that experiance, but if my Google image search suggests anything, then it must be that the feeling of looking at a tiny insect invading your space and mind exists universally. Maybe a bit like the fascination of watching a plastic bag caught in the wind as illustrated by the film “American Beauty”
