One who wisely treads the paths woven by these sticky threads will be spared from the spider.

As with quicksand, the more desperately we struggle, the quicker and deeper we sink.

Trapped in a whirlpool-like vortex of our own making, we neglect the potential for stillness and calm to liberate us from the mess we've made.

Intertia a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.

So many flies and lady bugs get caught in the spider webs beside my bed. Desperate exertion and depletion of energy while caught is usually how they meet their end. The spider simply waits in the corner until its victims have worn themselves out.

When I've attempted to free them from their struggle, their movements, post-web, are slowed significantly, with some even losing the capacity to fly or walk altogether from the damage done in desperation.

How can we prevent getting caught in the spiderweb, the quicksand, the whirlpool in the first place?

No simple answers only new questions which perhaps is in itself an answer. Was the fly attentive to its danger? Did it question the nature of the web once ensnared? Did it even know that its fate mattered? Or did it simply react?

What is the spark in you which prompts you to work for your perfection? Are you the fly wishing to become the spider? Is this the God gene reaching out? Were the conditions in your formative years conducive to encouraging self examination?

In some perverse way it is the questions which matter, the questions which bring clarity not through answers but through mystery. They wake something essential in us give it its moment in the light.

Indeed. The images, analogies, and inquiries I've painted above arise from a sense of playfulness. In all of us reside a fly, spider, and net. Perhaps more harmony exists among them than otherwise assumed. The mystery lies somewhere in their transforming relationships.
