It is a neat thing to walk out into the garden and find a spider web.  It is a really neat thing for the web to be in such a perfect shape and to have the spider sitting in the center of it.  Spider is a powerful teacher for all of us.  She is known in some native traditions as "Grandmother Spider" and she is the weaver of stories.  She reminds us that we are all connected and that the best place for us to be is in the "center".  I remember that once I had a dream with Grandmother Spider.  I walked onto her web and sat in the center with her as she told me a story.  She taught me with this story that while there may be a windstorm swirling through the perimeter of the web, lots of drama and lots of distraction, if I stay in the center then all will be well.  It is so easy to get caught up in tangled messes that happen all around us.  We have a choice when this stuff unfolds; do we want to join in the 'drama' of it all or do we want to remember to stay grounded in our center.  I love that spider showed up yesterday.  It was the perfect day for it.  Her arrival reminded me of all of this and proved to be excellent guidance at a time of much drama swirling around me.  So, I hang on to what is true for me now and I stay grounded in the center of that truth.  Great lesson!
