The Safest Place

I have a spider that has taken up residence in my bathroom this winter. SalySpider is nice and warm. She has not frozen to death along with lots of other bugs at -12 degrees this winter (good temps for limiting Pine beetles... yea!!!).

There is a problem with the safe, warm place Miss Saly inhabits... there are no other bugs in the house. I fear she is slowly starving to death. I doubt she has the wisdom to leave this comfortable place before that happens.

Seems the warmest, safest place is not always the right place to be. There are times we need to see what is coming and move from our comfort and into the unknown to find necessities.

Just something to think about on this cold winter's night.
