The pain of not letting go...as human beings we tend to respond to life by either holding on no matter the cost, or stopping just short of the goal. In the animal world, only domesticated animals mimic this behavior. Creatures in the wild could not survive if they behaved this way. We human beings may survive, but we certainly don't thrive, and the life we create by living this way is painful, for us and for those around us.
Spider, as a totem so obviously does not hold on! Think about spider spinning and weaving her web. From her being comes the fiber and material for creation of the web. From her essence comes the knowing of its' form, its' creation.
Self Reflection: What does the web of my life represent for me? What is the cost of my holding on? What is the cost of my stopping too soon?
