EARTHKEEPING NEWS A NEWSLETTER OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COALITION FOR CHRISTIANITY AND ECOLOGY Volume Six, Number Four May/June 1997 THE SPIDER ON MY KNEE by Dee Horn The small spider ran up my leg, hopped from one knee to the other, and then turned and ran quickly away, spiralling into the spring grass. Normally, I would have panicked. Screamed. Knocked that fresh spider off my leg, then smashed it in the nearby grass. But that small spider was so excited . . . I couldn't keep myself from the joy of knowing that this tiny jubilant life had chosen my leg to climb. From Institute of Cultural Affairs archives Home     Table of Contents
