Today I watched a caterpillar trapped on a thread of a spider's web fight for its life as it got pulled up and inevitably devoured. Was I to save it? Who am I to dictate whether the green tiny bug lives or the crawler eats? I am but an insect myself. Insignificant and powerless. Recycled carbon and soul, decomposing.
