The jumpers do appear to have a lot of personality. They follow you around when you are in their territory, like they just want to know what you are up to. If you try to drive them off for their own good, they refuse to be driven. They may hide, but they continue to hang nearby.

I LOVE jumping spiders. They get a lot of excersize when they run into me.....
Coluber - I can't remember the web, but it was definitely at about 3' off the ground. Maybe I didn't see it because it was horizontal. I stood transfixed after I regained my exposure from having stopped so abruptly.

You could picture that one on the carpet before the hearth, snoozing.

Ha! And, I'm the one who, at midnight, gets a tupperware, catches the spider, and escorts him outside..... or, into the basement in winter.

A bodhisattva is a being motivated purely by compassion and love. They're humans who attain nirvana, but instead of moving on they remain on earth to alleviate suffering.
This is Quan Yin one of the most well known and beloved of the bodhisattva. She's thought of as the goddess of compassion. (She's also sort of my patroness, though I'm an atheist. Go figure)
