Raven .5 (Satisfied) - Gratitude

-The Spider weaves together its home, as do I. We gather our intricate beauty and dwell in our creations. Think not of the outcome of the work, like the Spider, think only of how the creation may serve you. – (Inspiration)
 
Sitting motionless in its last shelter, the spider observes the artist at work, sitting so still as to not be seen. The spider has witnessed the artist through fear, curiosity, and now delight. 
 
“It’s beautiful!” The artist considers her work, completely enwrapped in achievement, pride, and gratitude. She has learned, throughout a long journey, to thank her former self for doing so much study and work, for so many years, to be where she is now. She can thank the child inside that would be struck dumb at what she is capable of now. She can live with her joy, her peace, and acknowledge her achievements. It’s all enough, it has all been enough.
