The sun sets on another day…
Sunset sparkled and spun a swath of color, well, everywhere. I sat in awe as the skies lit, then slowly faded into darkness. I could do nothing but smile after I fell into the night.
Yesterday we went through a sunflower maze. Adults and children were enjoying the moments and as we walked around people snapped pictures everywhere. I focused on them the flowers, the bees, and a little bit of everything. It was very subtle, and very enjoyable.
When I got home I was out front trimming back my lavender roses so they would bloom again and I noticed bumblebees in the open flowers. I always enjoy it when the bumblebees are in the lavender roses because for some reason they get lost inside the panels. We have laughed before that they are having beegasms from the overly pungent flowers, but no matter what they’re doing they roll and buzz and stay for a lot longer than you usually see bumblebees hang around a flower.
It’s so simple but so complex that an animal that small, or in this case an insect, can absolutely enjoy everything going on around them. They are completely oblivious to me and just get lost in the moment and are completely positive. As they roll around in the petals I have seen them fall out and at the last moment begin flying. As I watched I saw one getting ready to do similar and put my hand underneath the flower. He fell out and into my hand, rolled around and buzzed back up the quarter inch only to begin rolling around again.
I’m positive this is wonderful for them, I was not worried about getting stung at all simply because this bee was drunk with the smells that assailed him.
What is it that makes you feel the same? Do you get lost in an action? Do you ever find yourself simply enjoying a moment so much that nothing else matters? I know I do. Think about the happiness that you have and I hope you enjoy it every time you’re able to do it.
So as the sun sets on another day, I would think of bees life is pretty simple, but far too short. I would think our life is just as short if you think about it and we should do everything we can to enjoy every day and overcome it all. Overcome what? Overcome it all, and bee yourself every day, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and buzzy buzz buzz…
