Sunday morning

I saw a single spider on the surface of the window pane. I am a non-killer of insects, especially spiders. Because they exterminate pests.

I was looking out of the window several times at every turn, admiring the greenery in the garden, which was thrilled to see the first autumn sunshine in a long time.

After several times, I finally noticed that the spider was silently drawing large webs on the glass at gaps of two or three millimetres.

And the spider has completed a meticulous and truly magnificent web. Now, in the centre of the large web it has drawn, it sits motionless and silent, waiting for its prey.

What a cruel illusion…

Surely, that’s most likely in our lives.

日曜日の朝

窓ガラスに一匹の蜘蛛がいた。私は虫、特に蜘蛛は殺さない派。害虫を退治してくれるからだ。

久しぶりの秋晴れにワクワクしている庭の緑を眺めながら、事あるごとに窓の外を何度も見ていた。

数回目にしてやっと、その蜘蛛が窓ガラスに2、3ミリの間隔で静かに大きな巣を描いていることに気づいた。

そして蜘蛛は綿密で実に見事な巣を完成させた。今は、その描いた大きな蜘蛛の巣の中心で、動かず静かに獲物を待っている。

残酷な錯覚だ…
