Connections
Interwoven
Our lives seem to be interwoven in a pattern that can’t be imagined. I was thinking about this and the way the spider web looks so magical in the morning light and as you approach it becomes more interesting with globs of water like jewels on each thread until you look close enough to see the spider and the beauty of the web is transformed into something of danger because you looked too close.
The spider isn’t normally aggressive but wants to be left alone to live it’s life; to reproduce and to capture and to eat it’s food. It’s only when someone makes the mistake of getting too close (invading it’s territory) or actually scaring it (and believing that it will be harmed) will become aggressive and attack.
Our world seems to be increasingly held together by fine threads that could break at any minute and there are many things in life that shouldn’t be examined with too much scrutiny because to do so would cause disillusionment and perhaps panic. Modern money is the first thing that comes to my mind - it’s a promise, there are no precious metals present.
