• The Spider is an ode to my mother. She was my best friend. Like a spider, my mother was a weaver. . . Like spiders, my mother was very clever. Spiders are friendly presences that eat mosquitoes.

• Whenever we choose to come unto Christ, take His name upon us, and follow His servants, we progress along the path to eternal life.
