Anti Fragile

The most resilient life forms in the world

Are among the smallest most fragile beings

They cast webs of gossamer fine particles

Again and again

Morning dew sparkles on a dream just spun

And I am reminded as I run

Spiders

Work tirelessly

Repeating

Repairing holes

Rewriting

Rewiring

And casting their creations forward

They greet each morning

With a new net

I have never seen one throw a tantrum

Sunk in the depths of despair

At a fresh tear

Instead

They weave until they die

Or die trying

Valiant little beast you put we humans to shame

So

I pick up my pen

And begin again

Writing
