Dien,
My heart is POUNDING.   Seriously!!  ~lol!~
I would have been OUT of there & probably would have moved OUT.  
Michael, you must be very brave to do that, esp if the spider was THAT big!
But I do see the wisdom and patience we can obviously learn from the little spider building his web.  It's like when we are children, we are like rubber & can bounce back from seemingly almost anything, but then as we grow older, we lose that "elasticity" somehow...why?  I don't know, but I am striving to gain some of that back! 
 
Thanks for sharing, this is the last forum I thought we'd be talking about this in, but it sure has been an interesting thread!
