Flight of the Honey Bee!

Today was yard work day at my house and what a beautiful day it was. The intense sun light completely wiped me out as I cut the lawn and trimmed the hedges around the house. While I was working I noticed these honey bees busily doing there part to keep my yard beautiful. Nuff respect little dudes! I know that there has been much debate regarding the effect of modern civilization on the proliferation of the honey bee. Specifically, there has been discussion about the effect of cellular communication on the honey bee with a noted decline in numbers of bees with the increase in use of cellular technology. Do your part to keep the honey bee busy - plant a flowering plant in your yard and encourage the honey bee to come around. That way we can hopefully keep them around and keep beautiful flowers in our environment.

Decay and Renewal

Empty the self completely;
Embrace perfect peace.
The world will rise and move;
Watch it return to rest.
All the flourishing things
Will return to their source.

This return is peaceful;
It is the flow of nature,
An eternal decay and renewal.
Accepting this brings enlightenment,
Ignoring this brings misery.

Who accepts nature's flow becomes all-cherishing;
Being all-cherishing he becomes impartial;
Being impartial he becomes magnanimous;
Being magnanimous he becomes natural;
Being natural he becomes one with the Way;
Being one with the Way he becomes immortal:
Though his body will decay, the Way will not.

-LaoTze-
