Invisible Threads

I'm sure you've  noticed the giant spider webs that are artfully woven between two trees, or your car and fence (you really notice these when  you walk into them face first).

And, I'm sure you know the reason you walk into them face first as they are invisible, unless viewed from certain angles. The light has to be just right in order for their shimmering essence to be seen.

If you are viewing them from a distance, say at least a foot away from your face, you can appreciate the beauty, the intricacies, the fragile weave that is created by the spider, the artist.

Isn't it interesting  how our relationships with other people are like that?

If viewed from a distance, and from a certain light, we can see the web that is formed in our lives; the beauty, the artwork, the careful weaving the dance of relationship has formed.

Also, when we hit it face first, we may see nothing but the ugliness, the sticky, ensnared mess we have made.

Sometimes it takes something little, like a spider, to see something big.

Like relationships.
