I like spiders. The struggle is real when I’m faced with home-wrecking or cohabitating. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

It was all good till the brown recluse became fond of the long legs of the notorious black widow. šŸ˜‚

Leave them be, they aren't harming anything! Spiders are one of Gods creatures too, they deserve mercy and compassion. Also, they are amazing critters!

More symbolism in this piece. I do like some spiders.

Steve van Leeuwen's avatar

Oh, I see it now! Is there some way to "clear the cobwebs" without "killing the spiders", metaphorically speaking?

Holly's avatar

Or just being more comfortable with them there šŸ¤

Thanks for reading

I am making peace with my spiders, it took a while. I don't mind them now.

I like the way you’ve described your thoughts. Lucid. As long as the spiders don’t harm. It gave me a glimpse in to your mind, imagination about your complex yoga posture and your concentration trying to hold on in that position for a wee bit longer than was necessary. Good job with the writing šŸ‘ŒšŸ¤ž

Yes…the spider and webs were more symbolic of the dark places I don’t want to look for things.

Thank you very much. You’ve been such a kind support.

Oh, and I encourage you to keep up with the audio if it’s what you want to do. Anything about it you not thrilled with can only be dealt with through practice and persistence. Like most things in life, annoyingly enough.

The spiders make me cringe not your audio.... was finishing the last sentence....how can those words make any one cringe!!!

Holly's avatar

Thanks Uzo. That was part of the purpose of their piece ā¤ļø

Uzo Eni-amogu's avatar

....but... they still make me cringe. Audio was great!

Holly's avatar

My audio makes me cringe but thank you for saying so.

Around my house the copious cat hair keeps them mostly out of sight, even when peeking where the broom don’t sweep. This is not actually a good thing.

Holly's avatar

They are supposed to be good.

Did you listen? I need feedback

Sam Mertens (he/him)'s avatar

It’s not good that there so much cat fluff. As for listening, not yet, but I promise I will. If I hear a 1,001 ā€œlikesā€ sprinkled in I’ll be sure to tell you right away.

Holly's avatar

Like? 😜

Sam Mertens (he/him)'s avatar

There’s one!

ā€œthere’s so muchā€, not ā€œthere so muchā€.

Spiders rule. I consider them all roommates and name them Timothy. They kill all the other weird bugs. So, win win.

Oh my gosh! That’s horrible it went right through the floor.

And yes, while doing yoga you are really able to pay attention. I get distracted and start looking around. I should close my eyes and just breathe!

That is is no way I’m going to find them all, and that is ok! Some spiders should remain.
