FORMING A SILKEN WEB OF STARS

GRANDMOTHER

 

There is a Hopi myth that tells of Spider Grandmother, according to mythology she was responsible for the stars in the sky; she took a web she had spun, laced it with dew, threw it into the sky and the dew became the stars. (Wikipedia)

The web is such an interesting visual that evokes a mental image of a small insect laboring to connect each delicate and jeweled silken strand in an intricate and yet symmetrical visual masterpiece.  As you gaze upon this amazing piece of work, it strikes the human eye as something of a miracle.  How could this tiny creature have the where-with-all to see this overall finished product even as it belabored to attach each strand in a persistent and consistent way.

“Thank you Holy Spirit for taking care of the details,” my friend often says.

And so we find ourselves walking the web of life~~taking each step without the full knowledge of the overall picture and /or the ending goal.  But we trust that our Higher Self, our Spirit, our Soul, has the overall picture for us and guides us each step of the way

I invite you to share an experience where you knew of the undeniable companionship of Spirit walking with you in your Life… a moment or a story that brought the interconnectedness of all things into your life and allowed you to experience ONENESS with the Divine.
