Folk medicine in many regions teaches that strands of a web will help close a a scar. Passages of Those Who Came Before can leave us scarred, and thus your description of ingesting a strand of a web makes much sense if done with contemplation and meditation upon the past, present and future, knowing that it is the everchanging Moment in which we live. I look forward to your interpretations of current affairs on how they may reflect the framework of Old Traditions. Juneaudream @61:

It is a version..of a native american/perhaps americas..tradition of ingesting a bit of web..to .. perhap... metaphorically-speaking..to enter into..a contact, or awareness of those who have gone on before. A contact with the dead..to remind us..of all that we cherished..which Has..gone on before us..but..that we..in that ..moment..acknowledge..we too..will fade..but..that all..'They'..have left us..presents a pattern, a way..to..reconnect.

Love your photo. Initial thought, breaking through the glass ceiling. Then, because you are in Alaska, I thought, trapped in the shattering glass of a misbegotten attempt (at breaking through the glass ceiling. Thanks for the firing of brain synapses.
