"The bee collects honey from flowers in such a way as to do the least damage or destruction to them, and he leaves them whole, undamaged and fresh, just as he found them."

                                                                                          ~ Saint Francis de Sales  

Not only do the bees take nectar with care, they contribute to the good of all in the way they help pollinate plants, including many of our crops. Such beauty.

Like every little individual bee, may we each relate to the earth today and every day with reverence, taking what we need with care and giving back somehow, with gratitude, by using our gifts for the greater good.   

It's not too late. We can all help heal this wondrous planet. Love and wisdom can show us how.   

With gratitude,
Charlene
