i love the spider's little leg shadow...i thought it was cool to have caught that!!!
"remember to
be gentle
with yourself and others.
we are all children of chance,
and none can say
why some fields will blossom
and others lay
brown beneath the August
sun.
care for those around you.
look past your differences.
their dreams are no less than yours,
their choices in life no more easily made.
and give.
give in any way you can,
of whatever you possess.
to give is to love.
to withhold is to wither.
care less for your harvest
than how it is shared,
and your life
will
have
meaning
and
your
heart
will
have
peace."

This is one of the most beautiful and touching poems I have ever read. I do hope you find out the author and let me know. I will likely copy this one into my new Joy journal. Let me know?
