Spiders. It's about spiders.
They come up the drain - big ones like Wolf spiders & Orb spiders - and I find them in the bathtub. Generally in the middle of the night, though why that is I'm not sure. It's just a good thing that there is no one to hear me scream like a child Every. Single. Time.
*sigh*Wouldn't you scream if you saw that in the middle of the night? LOL
A dear friend of mine has reminded me that we draw things to us as our energies change. So I'm assuming here that I now have Spider Energy, which is not a bad thing.
In the natural world, they perform a vital role in capturing flies, mosquitoes, bugs of all kinds; even small birds and mice.
And then there is the wonderful children's book Charlotte's Web, and its lessons of enduring friendship and loyalty.
In the Spirit World, in almost all cultures, spiders weave the web of life, over and over again. According to Animal Speak by Ted Andrews, in Native American lore, Grandmother Spider kept and taught the mysteries of the past and how they were affecting the future. She reminds us to awaken our own sensibilities to be more creative in life, and teaches us to maintain balance between the past and future, physical and spiritual, male and female. She teaches us that everything we do now is weaving what you will encounter int he future.
And here I am, embracing the simple and charmed gifts of Mother Nature: expanding my creativity, staying grounded in the now, and letting go of the fear and anxiety of the future.
