Living life is like weaving a spider web.

There is no wrong way to do it-

the ups and downs, the back and forths, the wild leaps and the free falls
all give the web its fantastic design

and the rain...
makes it sparkle in the sunlight.

A spider weaves its web the same, with modification for location.  That is what identifies the spider, or one of the ways.  Some spiders make no web at all.  But all webs in the air look lovely when enhanced by early morning moisture or glistening in the moonlight.
A web catches things that pass by, yet
It never catches the shadow.

Passing shadows,

Spider webs are instinctive technology.  The first spider web looked like today’s spider webs.

This is a very good poem, and picture.

Some very nice words of wisdom in this piece.  Now if I could just figure out how to tie the knots in my own web of life.
