Spiders

I peered out the shop window. Resting right outside in its complex web sat a little spider. It was watching the sunrise in the stillness of the morning. I remembered seeing another spider, a few days prior, outside our apartment door doing the same thing. Curious little spiders; despite the early morning traffic of people crossing their paths and threatening their webs, they remained. They didn't scurry in fear of what could happen, rather they stayed close to their homes, soaking in the warm light with reverence. Amazingly, like all spiders do, if their webs were destroyed they would simply build them again. And the next morning, from what I've observed, they would be there again, in their newly constructed webs to graciously watch the sun rise on a new day. Spiders aren't so terrible, they're just beautiful examples of lessons we can learn in the serenity of nature when we take time to observe.
