The world is a wild place
Wanting to know, order and predict
I forgot
Tamed the dragon, walked him on a chain
And what of the California grizzly
I became the creature I feared most
Lost my soul to walls, machines and flashing lights on a screen
And faith in the world that gave me birth
But what of those memories deeper than the womb
If wind, of water, of rocks and sunshine
Bringing life to creatures big and small
And plants that clean the air we breathe
I walked on two feet and clambored on four
To the sounds of wind, of birds and a creek babbling through the woods
To the silence of a desert morn
Looked into the eyes of a cougar
And heart of a bear
And I remembered, with faith and soul
That the world is a wild place.

If you’re arachnophobic, I hate to tell you this, but spiders can fly.
Don’t panic—it’s pretty much only the extra-tiny ones that take flight, which is a behavior called ballooning. By releasing a bouquet of streamer-like silks, baby spiders ascend into the air to find new homes after hatching, and adult spiders do so to get around more easily and find mates and new food sources. Some have even crossed entire oceans using these silk parachutes to stay aloft on wind currents.

A journey taken or a journey one hopes for? The copulating ladybugs was a nice touch :)
Stylistically, I'm channeling a bit of Napoleon Dynamite here.

Nice!
The world is great except for the stuff I don’t like. Same goes for other people. As the Dothraki say, “It is known.”
Cheers knowers!
