I finished my latest book ” Bee Time – Lessons From the Hive” by Mark L. Winston. It’s a fascinating read, written in lyrical prose, celebrating the many roles and gifts bees offer us through the eyes of a variety of disciplines: art, science, agriculture, environment, business, urban planning, nature, philosophy, religion and spiritual growth. Bees have many lessons to teach us.
I offer this poem and photo as a gift to Mark L Winston for his enlightening read and love of bees.
“Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt – marvelous error! —
that I had a beehive
here inside my heart.
And the golden bees
were making white combs
and sweet honey
from my old failures.”
~Antonio Machado
