The spider is one of my animal spirit totems. Often a guide for writers, the spider teaches us the mysteries of language, helping us find the voice we hold inside. Here is what spider had to say:

Keeper of Words

I weave the memory
of words

Old soul
talk to me about

Silence

I wrap silk to hold
life. Bleed the tangled

Walk my labyrinth
back to the center

Step gently, remember
sound is vibration

Feel words held
like a mummy wrap

Release the ancient
mystery of your language

Awaken
