Trichonephila clavata — The Joro spider — is a large spider native to Asia and has recently arrived in Georgia. It’s working its way around the South.
When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion.
―Ethiopian proverb
Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called life
Electric word, life
It means forever and that’s a mighty long time.
―Prince
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil…
―Gerard Manley Hopkins
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you’re mine, I walk the line.
―Johnny Cash
