I wonder sometimes if creatures get mad. This spider took a long time making this intricate beautiful web. Sooner or later a custodian is going to sweep all those webs away with a broom. Does the spider get mad? Does the spider have any reaction at all? I don't think it does. I think it merely recognizes it has no web anymore and rebuilds with the same single-minded meticulousness. I'm jealous in a way, I'm also jealous of the beauty and the fragility of the web itself. It's fragile strength. The spider doesn't have beauty in mind, it simply spins on instinct, for functionality, but the result is beautiful. Nature can be such an inspiring thing.
Spiders were the worlds first architects.
