Over the past few weekends that i have spent with my daughter, i have had the ho

nor and pleasure of watching spiders build their web. It is something i have nev
er done before.
Just sitting there placed me in almost a trance like state as i watch them move,
weaving their intricate paterns. It was then that I noticed that their patern w
as not that of one circle inside another, but was of an ever tightening spiral.
And it brought to mind the spiral path, that is followed by so many different pa
ths around the world. Not only did this make me wonder about the old legends of
the weaver of the web of life, but watching them move, with their precise and so
metimes frantic movements reminded me of the human race as well. As we scurry ar
ound in our frantic little lives.
Watching these wonderous creatures, I was forced to reflect on many things in my
life from start to present. Wrongs that had been done to me, wrongs that i have
done, my preception of myself, and others and of everything. I found this was n
ot a volentary action, and i wonder if it was the weaver itself that made me loo
k at things this way at this time.
I found many things in my life lacking. Mostly about myself and the way i view m
y suroundings. Is this how the weaver viewed me? If so then it is no wonder my l
ife is the way it is at the moment.
Through my time spent with the weaver of the web, I have learned much about myse
lf that must change for me to be at one with myself, and with everything in crea
tions. Although i have many gifts, I have yet to reach my full potential. Nor wi
ll i unless i change myself.
This is the lesson i have learned from the weaver, and for that i am grateful, f
or i now know i have the ability to be far more than i am now, but only if i am
willing to go the distance.
To the weaver of the web, i thank you for your patients, and love in showing me
who i am, and what i can become.
