The Spider and His Web

Have you seen a tree that grows to maturity in a day?
My mother once told me about spiders building their webs
“You didn’t grow up watching spiders so you don’t know,”
she would tell me
“The spider produces his own web and many times
he would lose grip and he would fall
again and again
He would then climb back up 
again and again
Continuing to construct his intricate web”
This is the timeline of nature
Where no sequence of our life is constructed in 24 hour blocks
There is only wisdom and patience
that all things will grow and unfold in their own time
There is only the trust and faith 
that all the nutrients and connections
required for survival will be given
Far from our own egoic interference
We can bear witness to these cycles of nature
