A spider ruminates on the nondual nature of being as it prepares to feast on a fly

lyrics

"We're all a part of everything," said the spider to the fly
"And life goes on without you, even when you die
Every choice is a fork in an ever-branching tree
So set your fears aside, and live like you are free
We're all a part of everything," said the spider to the fly
"We're all a part of everything, even when we die"

"There's a tree of fascination that's been growing in my mind
Birthing possibilities of every shape and every kind
An endless branching fractal that just grows and grows
Connecting me to everything, from my head down to my toes
And when that tree awakens to the fact that it exists
There is a pull that's impossible to resist
It's never been about right or wrong or striving to become
It's the joy of ecstasy in knowing we are one
The things that seem so different, really are the same
Just separate leaves on one great tree that goes without a name
It's a tree of fascination, so wondrous to behold
To know that it is really you can make your life so bold
So don't take things too personally, for your just a leaf on this great tree
It's your roots and your branches, too, that span eternity"

"We're all a part of everything
We're all a part of everything"

"So here's a truth that's so profound that it will set you free
I am you, and you are me, and together we are we
Just two different characters of predator and prey
'Just play your two parts,' is all the tree would say
Yes, there's a tree of fascination that's been growing in my mind
Birthing possibilities of every shape and every kind
An endless branching fractal that just grows and grows
Connecting me to everything, from my head down to my toes

"We're all a part of everything," said the spider to the fly
"And life goes on without you, even when you die
Every choice is a fork in an ever-branching tree
So set your fears aside, and live like you are free
We're all a part of everything," said the spider to the fly
"We're all a part of everything, even when we die"

"We're all a part of everything
We're all a part of everything
Every choice is a fork in an ever-branching tree
So set your fears aside, and live like you are free"

"So here's a truth that's so profound that it will set you free
I am you, and you are me, and together we are we
Just two different characters of predator and prey
'Just play your two parts,' is all the tree would say
Yes, there's a tree of fascination that's been growing in my mind
Birthing possibilities of every shape and every kind
An endless branching fractal that just grows and grows
Connecting me to everything, from my head down to my toes

"We're all a part of everything
We're all a part of everything
Every choice is a fork in an ever-branching tree
So set your fears aside, and live like you are free"
