Spider

"Mind in the center
Radiates to eight legs,
Creating a supreme web
To sift Tao."

I am reminded today that there is not a creature in Heaven or on Earth that is not under God's care. We live, and move, and are in Him. The ongoing challenge is to do it all for Him, too. I often doubt if I am up to it, and then my sorrow creeps in. I must cast that into the web of lies I spin myself, and put myself even more firmly under His protection and care. Humble surrender, a shedding of losses, a readiness to embrace the new: I step toward Him now more fearlessly, even as I fear Him.
