Detachment

 

This morning I walked out my door to find a perfectly crafted spider web spanning the entryway to the outdoors. The little critter was gracefully poised in the middle of its creation. At first I was going to simply duck underneath and proceed with my morning walk, but I knew I would undoubtedly forget about it when I returned and receive a face full of web. So, I grabbed a little plant-like object and began to undo the being's work. As it scurried away a thought came. "When my endeavors in life are undone, may I accept it as the greater good if they were obstructing the path of another being."
