Even a spider has a hiding place in its web!
That is what I discovered this morning as I went about capturing the dew on the several spider webs on the meadow!
I happened to notice a hollow on the middle of a thickly woven web and while waiting for a while marvelling at this sight of great craftsmanship of a tiny creature that many avoid having anywhere close to us in our homes, the spider appeared at the mouth of a tunnel it created for itself to hide!
There is safety in hiding! Hiding gives us respite for inner composure and recollection when suddenly taken by surprise of overwhelmed by an unexpected scene, sight or news.
At the Developmental paediatrics unit, at CMC Vellore, there is a quiet room we designed for such a use. Amidst all the activities that happen in a crowded place, there is a quiet place where any one can go to find quietude for reflection and inner rest!
Hiddenness and visibility are integral experiences when held together in good harmony and proportion help our lives to stay centred and anchored!
