8 long legs walking
in this torrential rain
dancing on raindrops

--today was a very busy... and somewhat difficult day...
and it basically rained off and on all the while ... which was wonderful...
and yet, a bit maddening when I left the windows down on the car and totally sopted the inside...
and in other news... I took quite a few photos... and almost all of them had spiders in them...
even though I did not see them when I was taking the photos... I can clearly see them now during the editing process.
According to Spider Energy (Animal Totem):
Spider is a symbol of Creativity and the Weaving of Fate
Spider shows up throughout myth and in all cases the myths are similar - Spider is the weaver of stories, dreams, illusions, fate. Spider is often seen as linking past to future.
Spider teaches to maintain balance - between past and future - physical and spiritual - life and death. Spider teaches that what you do now, thoughts, actions, emotions, serve to weave your future - if Spider shows up, it may indicate it is time to access your deepest wisdom about this teaching and make it a part of your daily life
Spider weaves a web of subtle and intricate pattern - what has gone before in the weaving determines what happens next in the weaving. Spider, in the center of his web can serve as a reminder that we are the center of our own world - our world is woven by us, around us - we are the keepers and writers of our own destiny - weaving it like a web by our thoughts, feelings and actions - it may be time to open yourself up to the infinite possibilities this presents - and make a choice - your choice today creates your tomorrow
Spider is guardian of all ancient languages and alphabets. Many attribute the very first letters to the patterns and angles formed by a spider's web- spider is considered to be the teacher of languages and the magic of writing - it may be time to write creatively - without the constraints of form, tradition or habit
Spiders are usually found in dark, inaccessible places - this can teach to not be afraid to use your creative energies in seemingly inaccessible places or in what may seem to be the dark - when the light hits it it will shine as a masterpiece - just as a spider's web does in the morning light
