  • Monday, April 26, Evening:


    I have seen three spiders this day.


    The first one evoked fear. As I lay on the pool table in the Kat, staring at the spider, I point it out. Someone is immediately afraid. Soon rumours of a giant spider spread through the room. And when those on the other end of this game of telephone see the culprit, they scoff. It is a small spider: not worthy of this fear.


    The second spider saw anger. I was sitting by the front door waiting for Missina, when someone pointed it out. As it climbed down the wall, a shoe flew past my head. It missed, and the Spider fell off the wall. I couldn’t see where it landed.


    The third spider was beautiful. As I was walking down the hall, it glided down it’s invisible support, about a foot from my face. I stopped, just to consider the beauty in it. It was a perfect picture: legs out stretched, floating peacefully down. As it lowered past my face, I bent over to see it closer. Startled, it climbed back up speedily. It stopped again, right at the level of my head. It was a beautiful spider.
