Divine moment

Dear little brother,

Hope you are happy and keeping well. How is your new house? I hope it is coming along the way you wanted it to be. Yesterday morning I almost bumped into a beautiful spider's web.

I would not say it was the biggest one I have ever seen in my life but it was the most beautiful one I have come across so far. It was absolutely amazing! I saw nothing there the night before and the little spider managed to create it over night on her own.

Poor little spider did not know she was obstructing the entrance of my back garden. She sat in the middle of the web and waited so proudly for prey to come along. Scattered dewdrops over its silver threads shone like divine jewels in semi-ripened dawn light. Though I was in such a rush I managed not to bump into it. I also felt so lucky not breaking this divine creation.

I automatically stopped by the web for a moment feeling intoxicated by its beauty and I glimpsed this divine creation. In an idealistic world I would have spent the whole morning appreciating this divine miracle but I had to go to work. Spider worked so hard over night to make her living, and even now she was working, waiting until the prey came along. So why should I complain?

It was a very busy day at my work and I could not wait to get home to see that spider's web again. As it was a very long day, my dogs missed me so badly and cried for attention. I had to take them out for a long walk to calm them down. It was more than something I had to do, I decided to do it so they forgave me for leaving them on their own for so long.

It was a very wet evening and both dogs were soaked in mud. Before I took them inside the house I had to give them a bath to take the mud off. I was in a bit of a rush not to be late for the dinner party we were invited to last night.

While I was opening the back gate to take them in they must have smelt something and pulled the leads. I tried to control them while I was walking through the back gate. I felt something hitting my face. OH NO ...! It was that spider's web that I saw in the morning.

I accidently broke it and the helpless spider tried to hide anticipating more ferocious actions to come. I almost wept by the spider's broken web. I wished I could mend it for her then I realised how weak we are as humans. Humans made rockets to go to space. They made computers, satellites, robots and many more wonders but I doubted any man could create such a beautiful thing in the same way that the spider did. I felt helpless and remorseful for my little spider when I had to leave her alone. I was relieved to see that she was still alive.

The dinner party went so well and the food was absolutely wonderful. Whilst enjoying my meal I felt even sorrier for the little spider because I broke her web she must have been helpless to catch her food. The more I thought about this I felt more and more heartbroken.

First thing the following morning I wanted to see whether my spider is still there or not. It was remarkable........! I screamed out tears of joy. She had recovered over night and made an even more beautiful web. It was magnificent.

The clever creature changed its location hoping no one would break it again. I felt so thrilled and I stood by it to take another glimpse of Mother Nature's miracles.

Hope you do not get exhausted with your work and allow yourself to take a minute to blend with Mother Nature's divine spirit. She calls you all the time but we cannot hear her calling most of the time just because we have no time to hear her voice.

Yours, Big Brother
