I was looking out my window beside my desk when I saw a little lizard on the inside of the screen. This is not infrequent. I think they find it a safe place where there seems to be food enough to keep them healthy. They never seem to be very large. They can be small to mid-size compared larger ones I’ve seen outside. That got me wondering about little lizards compared to big lizards.
All lizards, like other wild reptiles and animals, must spend most of the day looking for something to eat, no grocery stores for them. Little lizards must also avoid being eaten by other beings, like larger lizards. Only the largest lizards do not have this other lizard worry. At some point the little lizards move out of my under-screen environment to the landscaping and sidewalk outside my front door, I suppose.
Every day, all day long, is the same: look for something to eat and avoid being eaten. After a certain amount of time little lizards become bigger and become interested in lizards of the opposite sex. This is part of the process of becoming a big lizard. Big lizards also do not have to worry about being eaten by big lizards, little lizards become a part of the menu, even your own kids.
Are you glad God did not make you a lizard? I wonder if lizards even know they are lizards?
