Don't Worry Spiders. . .



I keep house casually.

Found this little fantasy at the top of one of the pendant lights that hang over my breakfast bar. Hated to do it, but Halloween's over. I crawled up on the bar and wiped it away.

I couldn't help noticing its beauty and and its strength. And something else: I'll bet the spider doesn't waste a single moment, not a nano second, complaining or plotting revenge. It will just get on with the business of building a new web.

Spiders are smart that way.

Oh, I love your "I keep house casually." comment. It sounds so intentional and happy.

Love spiders, too, and their sense of calm purpose.
