Grasshopper

Grasshoppers, Katydid, Leaping grasshopper

A grasshopper can leap many times its own length, so it fills a dream with sudden jumps and quick changes of direction. Aesop's fable about the grasshopper who sang all summer while the ants stored food adds a second meaning: the pull between enjoying today and preparing for tomorrow. The chirp of grasshoppers in long summer grass is a lazy, sunny sound, a sign you could use some unhurried time. One landing on you may be a nudge to take a leap you've been putting off.
