Think Before You Kill

I attended a pot lunch barbecue party with my Meisner class, outside on a deck. A beautiful little jumping spider moved toward me. It displayed markings with which I was not familiar, and I could see either its eyes flashing or something else. It was fascinating! It moved behind a bowl and I moved the bowl to get a closer look. Down came the thumb of one of the people smashing the beautiful creature.  I 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.
