Lessons from a Spider's Web

Lessons from a Spider's Web:
Trusting in God and Nature's Bounty to Overcome Adversity
Last week, while walking down the road, the author came across an amazing sight - a spider about an inch wide had managed to create an intricate web that would put any human architect to shame. Despite having to overcome roughly 25 to 30 feet of a jump from a streetlamp down to the hedgerow and facing heavy rains and winds from a storm coming in from the Atlantic, the spider's ingenuity and skill allowed it to create a web that swayed up to about 2 meters too and frow but remained intact. This observation leads to the question of what lessons can be learned from the spider's humble determination to create a home for itself. Whatever our problems and fears, we can trust in our own abilities that God has given each of us. From this, we can renew our belief in our determination to succeed and trust our faith. This appreciation of life in general and our place and responsibility to respect the bounty of nature and our place within the manifestation. All is the one source presenting itself as the various apparent objects we observe, and All is God's body.
