Jumping spider, skinny legs, face, MAGLEV
What is it that causes us to look for our reflection in Nature? Is it a search for relationship?, ... empathy?...or just our inborn arrogance that makes it is always about us? Pretty, ugly, useful, dangerous, dirty, sleek... useless categories to all non-humans but without hesitation or reflection or even active thought we lay judgement to all we see. You, of course, will want to save this jumping spider for the same reason we put saving babies before saving the elderly. So, I have outed myself, for this is one of the many that live where the MAGLEV train will put their trainyard. Or, perhaps you would be more interested if I gave you the scientific name on a piece of paper? Too bad because I don't know its name. ~~~~~~~~~~{{{{{{0}}}}}}~~~~~~~~~~
We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.
