The process of waiting

For a well-trained warrior, the process of waiting is a quite a difficult ordeal. Its the uncertainty of things to come that makes this process somewhat tiring and a little bit disturbing. It's the thirst for action and movement that makes one uneasy if place on a corner and then be instructed to "wait for further developments or instructions".But if there is something I have learned from 'sentry duty', "patience is truly a virtue" and "good things come to those who know how to wait". 

As of press time, your Samurai Bug is awaiting clarity about the direction where he should be going and what will the scope of his new assignment. The journey is starting a little slow this week, still awaiting further instructions and notices from higher command (I might say). But what can one do in the face of these uncertainties, nothing else but hope and pray that "all things work our for the good". Hopefully as the new month starts, a clearer picture of things to come starts to appear.

Sense of Direction and Purpose

As a new explorer, trying to get one's bearings is quite a challenge!

The purpose and direction for the journey ahead needs to be established first.

Things the Samurai Bug must do on this journey:
1. Chronicle his encounters with the various creepy crawlies
2. Chronicle his encounters with this so-called "humans"
3. Chronicle his observations on the interactions, conflicts and all else in between that occurs between the creepy crawlies, the humans and their environment
4. Chronicle his travels, take a snap-shot and document notable features about the trip

With the 4 items of focus for the journey, it really looks and feels like this adventure will be something quite interesting!     

The start of the Samurai Bug's Journey

The Samurai bug has just broken out of its pupal case!
 It has been a long process of delopment inside the amazing transformation chamber. It is finally breaking free!
The image is somewhat blurry at the start, but as the multiple lenses of its eyes seek the light, the image is becoming clearer. Its sees a strange and new world out there..a strange and new world indeed. Its innate hunger for adventure, exploration and knowledge overcomes the creature...with a prayer it lunges itself into the unknown. The first steps out of the pupal case signals the start of the Samurai Bug Chronicles.
