A small Maryland Brown Spider has taken refuge in a corner of my bedroom-window.
It has been there since the beginning of the year. It grows fat on bits of weeds and
other small insects. In the past few months it has built, what I call, its second floor, where another,
spider has taken residence. When the rains come and pour down, I always wonder, will the spiders
be washed to the ground below. So far they have honored the space each has without fighting.
But last night, just before the moon began to set, Fire-Flies came out flying dangerously
close to the Spider Webs. Each day comes as a challenge for me, and a few of my friends
who stop by to check on the survival of the Webs. Some how, all this represents the ability
of nature to withstand the harshness of climate and weather, and provide all of us with hope
for the future.
