Why did the chicken cross the street?

“Charlottes Web,” “The March of the Penguins,” two funeral marches and “the chicken crossing the street.” Do these make any sense? As human beings we pride ourselves of possessing intellect that which separates us from all other creatures. But it is sad to think that we are as well loosing this gift. More often than not we fail to see a clearer picture of the things around us. We derail ourselves and loose tract of the small things and the countless stories that make it special and worth reflecting upon. We deprive ourselves of being fully aware that all of us and everything in the universe has its own story to tell be it big or small. We are simply preoccupied, selfish and arrogant not to even take a second glance of the things constantly unfolding before us. We excuse ourselves for being too busy and not giving a chance to slow down. We should bear in mind to take the time to “stop,” “look” and “listen” but more importantly to take the time to think and reflect.


The question remains “why did the chicken cross the street?” It’s up to you to find out and who knows you may be the lucky one who can give justice to the chicken crossing the street.
