peace of mind

28 july 2010

Yesterday, misting the fuschias in that perfect window of coolth (opposite of warmth :-) before the moving line of shade dissolved in the sun’s heat – I saw a spider, one leg monitoring his web for telltale vibrations, waving his arms menacingly at a small, passing hover-hornet (those tiny little black-and-white-striped ones). “Hey, hey,” he seemed to say, “Watch out for me, I’m gonna eat you.” Reminded me of the crabby crabs guarding the vent ports along the sewage treatment pipeline in Finding Nemo.
