Spiders Hopping

made December 2005
recalling June 1972

We moved to Oregon to live in the country after college.  As a suburban kid I was kinda anxious about the creatures in the woods.

Sitting on the cabin doorstep in the morning sun I saw a spider.

Just when I started to recoil it began hopping – HOPPING.

In that moment my fears fell away.  Nature no longer felt scary.
