Jessica

There is a spider in my bathroom. Everyday I walk in and walk out the bathroom and I always look up to see the spider on her web above the door frame.

Sometimes I will have a shit day and run into all sorts of shitstorms. I sigh as I open the restroom door to take care of business and muscle memory kicks in as I look up to check on the spider. A part of me is scared she might jump on me when I least expect it, so I like to keep an eye on her. Another just wants to see what she's up to, and if she's caught any flies yet.

But most importantly, this spider, whom I've come to name Jessica, is always there when I leave and when I come back. She doesn't send emails or pay taxes or take care of insurance. She doesn't go shopping or play videogames or go to concerts. She doesn't even go out to eat. But if she's still here, she must be happy.

Jessica is a zen master.
