Altered Consciousness? Nah. Just a Happy Tree.
A Brief Vision of
Symbiosis.
There are two trees in flower on the far
side of our little cul-de-sac island. They smell sweet and fresh, and since the
air has gotten a bit cooler lately it is a positive joy to walk around
outside.
Yesterday, as I
followed the dog around for his post-prandial sniff 'n' squat, I stood
underneath one of them and enjoyed its subtle fragrance. Slowly I also noticed
that the tree was gently humming. As my vision took in individual flowers, I
could see that there were hundreds of bees, happily harvesting nectar from each
little yellow flower. Individually, each little bee's activity was a vision of
industrious nature at work.
Overall, though, it seemed as
if the tree itself was purring. That's one happy tree.
