Honestly I didn't expect to capture such a cool moment of a bee that is about to land on (and in) a sage flower. They are so quick and energetic. After a hard winter they take advantage of every sunny second available and I spent a long time next to this sage observing them.
It is more than obvious that they know what they are doing and why, and they do it with passion. They work for the common good, unconditional love and a purpose are ingrained in every movement. I wish we could work the same way.
Officially it is the first day of the spring, but the day after the Equinox this year was not exactly as expected.
When I went out early in the morning for a walk with my dog, I realized that the temperature had fallen a lot during the night and the peaks of the mountains around were covered with snow. I have accepted that nothing in life is exactly the same twice and so is March this year. Never again has been recorded to have snow twice during March in our place, Eastern Crete in Greece. Even snow in general the whole winter. Well, it happened now and it was so cold in the morning.
After a couple of hours the sun came out bright and so did the bees.
This beautiful bee decided to go to a not so fresh flower that had become almost transparent, giving me the opportunity and gift to look through her private moment.
Everything would be easier if we were transparent, authentic. I spent the Equinox evening thinking of me and what I would like to blossom to this spring. After a winter of introspection, I am looking forward to the cheerful and playful spring mood.
The world has gone too serious, too dark, too crazy and I am determined to stay more in touch with Nature than humanity, hoping that one day in the (probably distant) future these two will be aligned and One as they truly are.
Till then, everything around is shouting:
Be true and dive deep into every second fearlessly, because Now is all that exists and it is a blessing.
The bees seem to know. They work hard, yes, but don't tell me she doesn't have any fun at all with this flower!
Happy new season to everyone! Whether it is spring or autumn, I hope it will be great!
