SpiderWebs & SnowFlakes

Which one are you, if not a good combination of both? Or, maybe you’re neither? Or, maybe you do not want to be one of the two? Or, are you already one and do not realize it yet?

–

Do you like to blend in the background, patiently and quietly, trying not to be seen and definitely not heard? Do you like to trap certain things over time, slowly, good intentions or not? Are you placed in the spot of most opportunity? Are you willing to rebuild, stronger, if your supports are suddenly detached or wiped out by some unknown?

Or do you like to fall from grace, patiently and quietly, wanting to be seen for what you are, still quieter than a uncut blade of grass? Do you like to melt away and blend into nothingness, with the right time, place, and temperature? Is your environment best suited for your presence or is it going to consume you before your flake’s edge touches the ground?

?

Both of them, by each design, being a ‘one in a million’, right?

Us thinking the same thing about ourselves, because why would any of us believe anything less unless we choose to portray a different picture than what we actually are inside our soul.

Us thinking the same thing about ourselves until we let our environment dictate our mentality dictate our mouth dictate our actions – us thinking there is some type of success story when we become something we used to hate or something even lesser – us trapping ourselves in ourselves and never escaping the cage that we built for ourselves –

both of them quiet and not full of a lot of unnecessary noise,

both of them choosing peace over chaos until that one point in time when it happens –

a SnowFlake tangled in a SpiderWeb,

a SpiderWeb doing everything it can before the first frost,

all of us waiting for the odds to be in our favor when those days are long gone and all of our survival rate’s have truly dropped to zero due to the withdrawal of the Holy Spirit, and that being okay because how else can we finally transcend unless we evacuate this failed creation by abandoning the natural and cleaving to the divine.

A spider web looks different in an early morning, foggy mist as compared to one standing under the high noon sun.

An empty spider web is less depressing than one that has recent kills wrapped in its design – but the spider does not feel this way – and you will not either if you walk through one that you did not see.

A spider web is unusually tough for what it is, even against the elements, a fiber unlike any other..

–

A snowflake looks different as they first start to fall as compared to having to dig yourself out of a twenty foot drift.

A single snowflake, over a certain period of time, can change the environment around it, and all the other flakes tend to enjoy this increased longevity of life.

A snowflake goes through a tremendous change just to become what it is.

–

The minute yet intricate details of both, but for what? The engineering of both, but for what? The use of both, but for what, good or bad or ugly?

Free Will?

or

Free Fall?

I know a lot of strong people who have now become a weaker version of their self, the polar opposite of what they used to be or were destined to be, and for what? I know a lot of weak people who have found the inner courage to want to change into the being they were always destined to be and remain at that level. Others, well, are fine where they are at in life right now, the current stationary stasis being the foothold they need to rest at before they start the climb again.

I know these people because I used to be each one of these people and it’s tough to see other people struggle with the choice of choosing life over just living.

Because, before long, you are going to die. You are going to end. You are going to be no more. You are going to become nothingness. You are going to be irrelevant. You are not going to matter anymore in this life, and this effect will slowly increase as more and more time passes and people become preoccupied with their new, flawed norm. People ARE going to forget about you and bring you up later, maybe once a year, in retrospect.

People will move on.

People will be people.

Doesn’t mean you have to.

…

Time is short and it continues to tick, so, I ask – are you a SpiderWeb or are you a Snowflake?
