The Spider and the Fly - An Aesop Fable Retold

The thread of love and understanding that grows thin with distance is very fragile Unless anchored well at both ends. Just as a spider weaves her web with but a few anchors to support her beautiful creation, so must love be built. But, as a spider lovingly starts over if her web is destroyed by whim or nature, man or beast, so must love be built. Sometimes she begins anew in the same place. Yet, sometimes not.
