Lessons from magic and Spider
Dabbling in magic has taught me an important life lesson: Put energy into an intent, but don't lust for results (p. 17). The way I've figured it is, you're going to get what you want--but maybe not when you thought you wanted it, or how. And what we ask for isn't always what we actually want. You've got to detach yourself and keep your eyes open, keep your mind open to receiving.
Spider is teaching me a similar lesson. She's showing me that I need to weave my web one thread at a time. I have to have the whole in mind, but work on each part separately and with focus. I need to break my big goals into smaller goals, and my smaller goals into steps. Only when I've completed each tiny task can I finally complete the whole web.
And then, I must wait patiently in the corner for the Universe to send me a juicy bug. :)
