Story & Experience
No bird art, here, but I’ve attached a photo of me sitting in the garden I planted over the last year to enliven what was a dead, weedy patch of lawn for the last ten years we’ve lived. Now it is alive and vital, full of bees and birds and ladybugs and dragonflies… The plant to the right of me is a bee heaven. Today, in honor of the Global Earth Exchange, I did a meditation next to it, admiring and appreciating the variety of bees happily and busily gathering the pollen from this Catmint. My prayer is for the bee populations everywhere to be healthy and vital, to find true nourishment and return with it to their thriving hives…. With gratitude for your vision and coordination, and to all those who participated today.
