La hormiga
Miré el peñasco frente a mí y vi un pequeño punto negro que se movía de un lado a otro. Lentamente, con tenacidad, el punto negro se movía trazando los surcos de la roca. Al acercar la cara, divisé, sí, una hormiga. Recordé cómo me burlaba de los hormigueros aplastados durante la niñez y pensé en lo fácil que sería terminar su viaje con un movimiento decidido de mi zapato.
¿Iba la hormiga a traer un grano a su colonia? ¿Intentaba cumplir con su cuota? ¿Iba de regreso a un nido de huevos recién puestos?
Enfrente de la hormiga solo están el borde curvo del peñasco y un enorme bosque de briznas de hierba.
La pequeña hormiga no sabe que su vida puede terminar en un instante. Yo soy simplemente una entidad que bloquea el sol. No entiende lo grandiosa que es esta tierra en la que vive.
¿Soy solo una hormiga?
