Spinner of webs

"I'm walking in a spider web...leave a message and I'll call you back"=No Doubt.

There's this strong, strong spider
living in a web made all on its own.

Rain splashes down,
it survives.
Wind moves it around, it keeps carrying on...

If one little (well kind of big) spider can have this strength, what are we all complaining about?

The weather, the traffic, the bills=all have us afraid...

But what if our lives were so fragile...as a spider's? (not the most likeable living thing).

We are definitely not invincible as human beings, but we will not lose our lives within an hour of building our home (web), or be knocked down by branches because we are so tiny...in relation to all of humanity...

A spider...hanging on for dear life....this brevity is to be admired.
How could a spider so fearlessly hang on....in the rain, in a storm without having some kind of awareness about survival?

Spinner of webs...although you don't exactly appeal to my senses, I do admire your expertise at living, your unity with your surroundings, your incredible climbing skills and your live for the moment attitude.
