I was watching out the window earlier, it was raining. I realized that my spider went away. There was a spider, that late spring had called the upper part of my window it's home. My first reaction was yelling out to see if the spider was in my house. When I found out it wasn't, I was ok somewhat. I watched this spider. It got to be a thing, waking up and watching the spider, catching it's prey and crawling around rearranging the web, and repairing it. So, I watched it off and on throughout the summer. It grew bigger, and done it's thing.
Lately it has gotten a little cooler. It seems that autumn is bringing with it the overdue rain that we missed throughout the summer. Well, today I watched, and watched, looked all around. My spider had left. At first I thought maybe the spider was hiding, but I keep going back, I can't even see the web anymore. I do hope the spider comes back. It kind of left a bit of sadness in my heart.
As the seasons pass things change. Like people do throughout life. Some for the good, some not so much. Like my friend the spider, sometimes you can't change the things that will happen, no matter how much you would like to see it stay the same. Lives change, and people go a different way. Spiders move on. Things will soon be cold, and you can't guarantee that another spider will come and take it's place. Heck, we won't even be here by then.
There are some things I need to do, and some talks I need to have that I haven't done lately. Things are changing, and I think it's time to send them away. They aren't good changes, they are not changes I want in my group, around my family etc.
As the seasons change so do friendships.
