Good Medicine For all of You

 A Species Who Lies in Wait

We stretch, we wait

We wait and anticipate, when the next meal will stroll along

For as we belong to a particular species; who lies in wait

We anticipate soon, the meal will arrive

And we will start to thrive once again

 

Webs

For we the Spiders of the Land want you to understand, the webs we create, are to help us anticipate, what will come next

You may be perplexed as to how we know, where to go

The Spiral should show you

 

Golden Rule

For we the Spiders of the Land want you to understand, we follow the Golden Rule

As in we spin a spool full of thread

And we are led by no one, other than our Ancestors

For we the Spiders of the Land want you to understand, it has been through trial and error

For the wind that brushes through your hair, shares its presence with us

The raindrops that dampen your skin and cool you off, we are here to say to you, each droplet settles down

And it creates a crown, where it lands upon the web

As the sun comes out, the crown glistens

 

Vibration

We listen, we wait, we anticipate, and soon, we hear and feel that telltale vibration

Someone has been curious, someone has been careless

And now my dears, we want to make perfectly clear, we want to enact a role or two

As we move to our prey, by this time of day, they have stopped wriggling

And they accept the consequences

Spin we do

Until of course, we have what we might refer to as a cushion

The web helps to hold together, the web helps to define

And the web also helps to, define where the shape is

 

Grace Other Habitats

We the Spiders of the Land want you to understand, our web is but one way

We do more than just stay put in one place

For we grace other habitats, as well

Some of you, are privy to watching us outdoors and you’re fine with that

But to refine that statement further, once we enter the Zone you feel we do not belong in, our life becomes more precarious, so to speak

We attempt to creep into the corners and stay put

For we hope you are not observant, we hope you do not notice

 

Stock Still

For we prefer to either move quickly out of sight or remain stock still

Therefore, my dears let’s be clear, the height above your head, the corners we prefer

And then of course, some of us choose to, remain below the ground

Some of us choose to, fling from tree to tree

But there you see, like many other species, we are individualistic

As in we have preferences, we have likes and dislikes

Therefore, my dears if we appear to have landed on your shoulder, that is not purposeful, that is an accident

If you have walked through our web, that is not our intent

 

Allow

But so that your life has not been spent in a wasteful fashion, we suggest to you, instead of wiping off that web immediately, allow it to settle, allow it to stay

And upon this day, you will begin to learn, what we yearn for

And that is a sticky, stretchy, strong, substance

The three S’s, you heard it

 

We Are Around

Some of us stay in the shadows and blend in due to our colouration, gray, black, or brown

Some of us remain among the stalks of the blades of grass

And we on the other hand, like to stand out

Some of us carry several hues

Some of us are huge, some of us are tiny

Some of us are hairy, some of us are smooth

Some of us inflict a nasty bite, some of us inflict a pin prick, a gentle reminder

We the Spiders of the Land want you to understand, we have nothing against you, we just like to remind you that we are around

 

We Ignore You Not

We know you are around, by your very sound, by your very scent, by your very vibration

Therefore, my dears we the Spiders of the Land want you to understand, we know you are there, we ignore you not

But we are here to say to you, you are not our main focus, it’s true

For you are too big to be our prey

 

Bow

Like our prey all wrapped up with a bow, we are here to say to you, our little ones also are all wrapped up with a bow, but this bow is different and so is the thread

And this thread is not meant to dread, but yet to proceed to allow nutrients to come through

Now some of us live upon the Water, some of us live upon the Land

And we want you to understand, it’s just preference of course

 

Hang Around and Observe

Some of us have short legs, some of us have long

Some of us are more patient, than the other

And if you want to discover which one, hang around and observe

We could tell you a thing or two, but what’s the fun in that

You too have a role to play

And we are here to say, if you want to get to know us better, hang around give yourself time

Yes, my dears, we want to make it perfectly clear, time is what you need

And if you want to proceed with using that time to its best advantage

 

Do Not Move

Choose one site and do not move

For the lack of movement, will help to improve your chance of seeing much

For your touch is everywhere, we know where you stay

So, stay put, do not move

Do you see us now, do you know we’re there

We will share this space with you

Especially if you, stay still

For we will too

 

Scientific Bent

Now many of you, who carry the Scientific Bent with you, would like to learn more

You my dears let’s be clear, if you are willing to stay put, for hours on end

We will send through information to you, that will be useful to you

For we are a species that has learned to adapt

And you too as a human species, will need to learn to adapt

 

Adaptation

Now many species of the Land want you Humans to understand, the stories we have been sharing with you, is a about just that adaptation

Now many of you prefer to be in the comfort of your own homes, away from the elements

We on the other hand tend to live in the Discomfort Zone

So, we have no choice, we must learn to adapt

 

Connect With the Land

You too, although you think you have it all together, we the Spiders of the Land want you to understand, you need to reconnect with the Land, to understand how you must adapt

For the Land will teach you, so will the Animal Species

For the Land and the Animal Species, have been preparing for some time

If you are to think that you are the only one, who might think of how to adapt, think again

For those of us who are not a part of the Human Form, we have carried this storm with us, for some time now

 

Change

Day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year, century by century, we have seen the change, we have changed with the change

Have we had to rearrange our lives, yes

 Have we had to change our habitats, yes

 Have we had to move, yes

 Have we had to change our practices

 Have we had to change our prey

 

Name of the Game

Yes, my dears we the Spiders of the Land want you to understand, Adaptation is the name of the game

But if you are blinded to the messages the Land keeps sending through to you, because of where you live, because of how you live

We the Spiders of the Land want to give you some advice, think twice if you prefer to stay indoors all the time

 For we the Spiders of the Land and the Waters, are inclined to say to you, you have much to learn

 

Teachers

We are willing teachers, standing by the wayside

Once you realize you can no longer hide, from what is coming your way, we are here to say, take the time, we are inclined to be around

 

Adaptation, adaptation, adaptation, adaptation, adaptation, adaptation, adaptation, adaptation, adaptation (sung to a slow beat)

 

Outside

Quiet your mind and sit outside

What do you hear, what do you smell, what do you taste, what do you sense, whose presence do you feel

We the Spiders of the Land want you to understand, this quieting your mind, while you’re outside, is necessary

For although the Tune of Nature revolves, and vibrates, you on the other hand, are part of a different Land 

For many of you are in your Head

Or you are led by your desires, you are led by your preferences

We the Spiders of the Land and the Waters want you to understand, these quiet moments are necessary for you to understand, for what you don’t want to hear, let’s make it perfectly clear, is total silence

 

Silence

For if you hear total silence it would appear, change has happened and you are not even aware of it

We the Spiders of the Land want you to understand, there is much more to sight than your immediate sight, there is much more to hearing than your immediate hearing, there is much more to taste than your immediate taste, there is much more to senses than to your immediate senses, there is much more to your knowledge base than the knowledge base you have been taught

For we the Spiders of the Land and the Waters want you to understand, many of you as in all of you, came to this Land bearing gifts

Now not all of you see those gifts as pleasant, see those gifts as rewarding

But we the Spiders of the Land want you to understand, there is much learning in each gift

 

Gifts

Now some of you see your gift as a handicap, to you

For the gift does not allow you to see what other see, to hear what others hear, to know what others know, etc. you get the idea

Now some of you would see blindness as a handicap, others would not

There are times that gifts are presented to you to allow you, to see a different way

Some of you do not carry all the appendages others do, and you also see that as a handicap

But my dears we the Spiders of the Land want you to understand, each one of these gifts are sent to you purposefully

For instead of seeing them as misfortune, what lessons can you learn

So, as you Human Folk churn those thoughts around in your head, some of you feel you are bleeding from your eyes, some of you feel your throat is dry, some of you feel your nose continues to run, some of you feel your hair starts to fall out

 

Opportunity

We the Spiders of the Land are here to shout to you, see each of those happenings of sorts, as an opportunity to solve a problem or two

And because you have solved that problem or two, we the Spiders of the Land want you to understand, you have much to share with another

For you will discover there are many people who are not like you, but some are

And you my dear let’s be clear, can share with them a thing or two

 

A Ribbon

Now some of you see visions, some of you see dreams

Some of you hear voices, some of you make particular choices

Some of you feel driven, some of you follow a ribbon, some you see breadcrumbs, some of you eat them along the way

Some of you just say today is not the day, I’m not up to it

We the Spiders of the Land and the Waters want you to understand, we’re patient, we’ll try again another day

And some of us just stay hanging around, some of us stay stuck in place

 

Perspective

So, my dears we the Spiders of the Land and the Waters want you to understand, each and every one of you when you enter the Earth, in other words when you’re birthed, carry a gift or two

You may not see it as such, your parents may not see it as such, but we know what it is

We often try to Light your way; we often try to close off the shadows

But one person’s shadow is another person’s Light, and another person’s Light is another person’s shadow, it’s all about perspective 

So, take a moment each and every day

And grace your life, with a chance to be outside

For hide no longer, inside your abode

For there is a load more learning, outside your walls

 

Callings

For we the Spiders of the Land want you to understand, each species on Earth Calls to you

Yes, the Human Species too

Now those Callings you may not recognize, those Callings you may not know

Some of them are loud, some of them are soft, some of them are overt, some of them are subtle, some of them come in colours, some of them come in shades, some of them come in music, some of them not, some them are brought on a silver platter, some of them are dull and misty

We the Spiders of the Land want to suggest to you, get outside in each and every season

And find a reason to be there, find something to focus on, quiet your mind

And allow what ever needs to come through to you

 

Shoulds

Now many of you the concept of quieting your mind is not something you’re familiar with because you are so used to having a busy thought or two, what you should do, what you shouldn’t

Did you make the right decision or not

Were you taught to be productive, otherwise you’re lazy

No, we’re not crazy, we’ve heard these thoughts running through you

 

Start to See Why

We the Spiders of the Land want you to understand, quieting your mind is purposeful, once you start to practice you will see why

Now we the Spiders of the land want you to understand, we’re not asking for a lot

We suggest to you to allot a short period of time each and every day

And then let’s say you increase that time little by little

And bit by bit you will notice a change

For within this reality you live in, you start to realize, there are many more

But if you have not practiced this practice, if it is foreign to you, you, are standing on the shores of disbelief

So, take a new leaf out of your book and try something new

 

Medicine

For it will be good for you

Some of you see medicine as coming from someone else

But we the Spiders of the Land and the Water are here to say to you, this practice this purpose, is what we would refer to as Good Medicine for all of you, good medicine for all of you, good medicine for all of you (sung to a slow beat)

 

You Are Not Alone

Listen to the Silence, listen to the Beat

Listen to the Songs, listen to the flutter

Smell the aromas, like melted butter

Feel the brush of a feather across your brow

Feel the insects on you, any how

Listen to the wind, hear her call

Stall no longer, get out in the rain

Just the same when the snowflakes fall, be there too

When you’re by a stream listen to it gurgle, listen to it burp

When you sit on a slab of stone, feel the heat rising up, know you’re not alone

When you sit on a stone cold as ice, feel it slice through your layers

When the wind is raw, be there too

For it too has a message for you

 

Natural Teachings

There are so many natural teachings available to you

All you need to do is, be there

And leave your mind behind, let those thoughts fall away

For when you are here each and every day, you will start to understand what messages are being said

from the Land

You need to know this do you understand

Peace be with you

We hope you take a moment or two and reflect on this

That’s it a moment or two
