Spider’s Web

Do you sometimes find yourself feeling alone, separate, disconnected from others? Lots of folks in our modern world find themselves without friends or family close by. A stroll through nature can help us, if w focus on the life energy in the trees, plants, birds and any animals we see. They mirror back to us the life force that is flowing through us, also. Eckhart Tolle teaches how much healing and peace there is in feeling the Presence of your own spirit, your essence.
The spider can teach us a wonderful lesson about shared Spirit. Seen from the right angle, a spider web will glisten if it is moist – particularly at each nexus where the strands are knit together. The silken strands of a spider’s web are among the strongest forces in nature, for the width of a single strand. Yet the strands can seem to disappear from various angles. So can our sense of connectedness disappear, even though we are actually quite bound together in the web of life. We intuitively know there is something magical in the glistening points of connection in the spider’s web, reflecting back to us and reassuring us of our connection with others. Uplifted by that validation in life’s mirror, we can pick up the phone and make that connecting call we haven’t gotten around to, or take a walk to the corner grocery and let ourselves really experience the other human being behind the counter.
