What worms taught me

As I am now trying to go on weekly walks with a friend, I am learning so many lessons about patience and culture. As we were walking, my friend Yen (not real name) saw worms drowning in the water. Yen grabbed a dirty spoon claiming she had to save the worms and it would make her feel good afterward. I didn’t get it.

I mean if you think about worms, there are 1.75 million worms per acre of land. Worms are a hermaphrodite species thus when they mate, they both produce worms thus that means there are a lot of them. If you cut one in half they can regenerate (only the half where the head is though). Worms also breathe through their skin thus, during heavy rainfalls they have to surface which, makes them vulnerable to predators as well as street indents that have water in them.

For a Canadian girl who sees so much, I still need to develop more understanding and patience. Patience is not the easiest thing when you have ADHD. You want to just go, not sit and watch a person pick up worms!

Staying put when you expected to be going for a walk is hard, watching Yen take her dog on a relay race with worms, shooting them back into the soil was pretty strange at first, I will fully admit it. People were staring at us especially when she screamed when a worm began to move.

However, it taught me something…respect for life. Life is precious and sometimes we don’t notice the little things like worms drowning. However, Yen did. She picked them up lovingly and placed them on the ground. Some of them weren’t moving and looked quite dead to me but once she touched them, they sprung to life.

Will you ever catch me picking up worms with dirty spoons? Not likely but I will say this, Yen’s example has taught me to respect people and life more.

To take responsibility for my actions is important when it comes to living on this earth. Not to throw things aside on the ground or to remind myself to pick up garbage people have left around that destroys the earth I live on.

 

I am Stephanie Hurd and I am learning the patience to see differences, the ability to respect life, nature and people.
