Beauty and the Bees

November 7, 2009

I love bees! (Even though one of my earliest memories is of stepping on a

bumblebee as a toddler and learning, at great expense to both of us, that that's

not a good idea!)

One year at ceremony, I think it was 1989 or 1990, it suddenly came into me

that we need to pray for the bees, that they were in danger. Ever since then,

they've held a tender place in my heart. I love watching them, how enthusiastic

and passionate and joyful they are, carrying the life force around in a big

orange ball pegged to the back of their knees. When they crawl into the tube of

a flower, or roll around in the sticky stamens, I feel their sighs of pleasure.

Last year I started a photo series called Drunken Bees. It's unfinished yet.

Maybe this spring...

I love bees! Servants of the Mother, tending her with joyful diligence and glee.

How precious they are!

I was saddened to hear of the hive which died. I pray the spirits of those bees

are tending the spirits of the blossoms of that land, weaving a web of love to

support life.

This morning I read an article that talks about the possibility of microwave

radiation from cell towers interfering with bees' ability to navigate by the

earth's magnetic field.

It makes me wonder how much I am indirectly contributing to the suffering. I

didn't know that bees navigate by the earth's energetic field, her aura, and I

didn't know that cell towers interfere with it. We are disrupting her aura! Our

relatives are suffering, and we are, too. How much of what I do every day

contributes to this suffering? How do I alleviate it?Do I give up cell phones

and internet? If it will lessen the suffering, I am willing to do that. Is it

enough? How do I change the way I live to lessen suffering on this planet so

full of suffering, and so full of beauty?

Peace,

Shaz
