Her Last Flower

This morning I went out to pick dandelions and was drawn to the Echinacea patch where I found a honeybee clinging to one of the beautiful flowers. She seemed in distress, confused and weak. She would fall off the flower and then catch herself in midair and fly dizzily back. She kept trying to get back to work, collect her pollen to take back to the hive to make honey but she was getting weaker and weaker and then she fell into my hand. I knew she would never make it back to her hive. For the next half hour she rested in my palm, her life slowly ebbing away as a thunderstorm started to brew. I sat on the earth waiting for death with her. The lightening flashed over the mountains, a family of turkeys slowly walked the ridge, a wild dog keyed into what was happening circled past us. The trees appeared startlingly vivid and conscious as the wind blew up and the thunder cracked and then her death was finished. She was gone forever. But in her going she taught me to take every moment as my last flower, do what I could and make something sweet of it.

The Gift Of Failure
Last night I dreamt, thank you God that I had a beehive inside my heart; and that Golden Bee's were making from my old and sad failures white combs and sweet honey.

FOR MORE INFO ON THE SACRED PATH OF THE BEE

"Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit not knowing why. From the standpoint of daily life there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others, for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected. My inner and outer life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received."
~ Albert Einstein 1879-1955

As when some Man apart, Answers aloud the Question in his Heart — The Sun of my Perfection is a Glass, Wherein from Seeing into Being pass All who, reflecting as reflected, See themselves in Me, and Me in Them: not Me, But all of Me that a contracted Eye, Is comprehensive of Infinity: Nor yet Themselves: no Selves, but of The All, Fractions, from which they split and whither fall. As Water lifted from the Deep, again Falls back in individual Drops of Rain, Then melts into the Universal Main. All you have been, and seen, and done, and thought, Not You but I, have seen and been and wrought: I was the Sin that from Myself rebell'd: I the Remorse that tow'rd Myself compell'd: Sin and Contrition—Retribution owed, And cancell'd—Pilgrim, Pilgrimage, and Road, Was but Myself toward Myself: and Your Arrival but Myself at my own Door: Who in your Fraction of Myself behold, Myself within the Mirror Myself hold, To see Myself in, and each part of Me, That sees himself, though drown'd, shall ever see. Come you lost Atoms to your Centre draw, And be the Eternal Mirror that you saw: Rays that have wander'd into Darkness wide, Return, and back into your Sun subside.'
From Farid al-Din Attar’s The Conference of the Birds. Translated by C.S. Nott

The Sunrise of Forever

The China Closet is empty.

Dionysos shattered every last piece.

Slipping on the glass Exú fell

Into the sunrise of forever.

All that was broken has been purified.

All is the humming of the void.



"Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge. We are perpetually on the way thither, being by nature winged insects and honey gatherers of the mind."
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), German philosopher
