Think Before You Kill

Was at a pot lunch barbecue party with my Meisner class. We were outside on a deck. There was this beautiful little jumping spider moving toward me. It had markings I was not familiar with and flashing red. I could see either its eyes flashing or something else. It was fascinating. It moved behind a bowl. I moved the bowl to get a closer look. Down came the thumb of one of the people there, smashing the beautiful creature. Felt I’d lost a friend.

Please think before you kill. There is great beauty and wonder out there, appreciate it before you squash it, if you must squash it.
