Let Go Of The Fear

---

This husband of mine said…

We need to clean the back porch…not because it hadn’t been cleaned recently…or because it was dusty…but because…he’d seen a spider web…

And that man of mine is scared of spiders…big spiders…little spiders…spiders he thinks he spies on the wall…

So clean we did…or shall we say clean…she…did…and sure enough found a nice little spider community enjoying life underneath the chest of drawers…

Scrubbed cracks…corners and all dark spider webbed crevices…eradicating any remnants of lingering silky creepiness…

Walked downtown not long after…and what to my wondering eyes should I see…a masterpiece…creative…intricate…glistening in the sun…

Had to take pause…the delicate beauty so stunning…so breath taking…

And so it is…in life…that thing we call fear…sometimes it takes a different perspective…a different lens…to take the edge off…lessen it a bit and help us see the beauty…we had no idea was there…

And that husband of mine…agrees…
