Spider Chronicles 3

A new web glistens in the morning sun.

The next time you find yourself bemoaning the amount of time you spend doing the same thing over and over, think of the spider who survived yesterday’s storm to silently, and completely, rebuild its web overnight!

Reflections on the Ephemeral Nature of Being

A spider was very busy in our yard between the hours of 7:45 last night and 7:45 this morning.


At sundown on Thursday there was only open space between all the flora.


At 7:45 am, a magnificent web, to which the industrious spider was already making a repair, glistened in the sun.


I exited the garden gate at 8:50. When I returned at 9:15 there was open space once more, the magnificent web a mere memory.
