Connected a Bee Story
Have you ever stopped to think about how we are all connected to each other? All of us, throughout the world. I was thinking about it the other day, from the trees to the seas and the buzz of the bees. I love a bit of rhyme, don’t you? Step outside the box with me and think of us all as pieces of one grand puzzle, never fully complete without each other. We are all connected.
Why am I rambling about this?
I was watching this video about a woman and a bee. Yes, a bee and the amazing compassion she shared with this fuzzy pollinator moved me to tears. I hope you will watch the video below.
We are all God’s creations! I do think of us as one big puzzle, with each puzzle piece equally as important. It doesn’t matter if you are a corner piece or a squiggly one. I have days when I’m a corner and days when I’m squiggled ( wink).
When I write a blog post, I do it as if you were right here with me. I imagine us chatting over the garden gate or having a cup of tea on the porch. There you are, and I’m telling you all about a bee video that made me cry.
One of the many joys of online journaling ( blogging) is the incredible blessing of a social connection, ( not social networking) friendship’s forged through things I share and you that take time to read. I hate to be too repetitive but you are ALL a blessing in my life. The fact that you take any time at all to stop by and read my posts is a testament in itself that we are all connected.
I found this busy fellow in the flowers on a walk during the tulip festival.
The incredible abundance of love and friendship you share with me only strengths my God’s puzzle scenario. We are all connected. Through faith, friendship, blogging and even…. through the reaction you will have when you watch the bee video.
Tomorrow when you hear the birds chirping or the wind whistling through blades of grass. Or if you are lucky, the buzz of a bee. I’ll be thinking about you then and you will feel how we are all connected, right there and then, in that moment, no question about it. Connected!
I took this photo of a pollen covered bee at Red Butte Gardens and Arboretum.
From one puzzle piece to another, I wish you a very joy-filled weekend and send you a sincere thank you for taking the time to read the bee story. xo
Katherine, I really enjoyed this post and the video. My mom and dad both love all creatures. My mom has been saving bees, spiders, snakes, and all kinds of bugs that bite – all of my life! My brother and I were raised to appreciate creatures for the role they play in the world and the gift that they are to us. It has raised quite a few eyebrows over the years when one of us picked up a big spider or moved a snake to a safer place. My mom is definitely the kind of person who would save that bee and keep it safe and happy.
Thanks for sharing this and connecting people the way you do. 🙂
Oh, I love that! A very lovely post, and a lovely thought. This puzzle piece thanks you!
Aw, love this and agree we are all connected in some way or another. Thanks for sharing and hoping you are enjoying your weekend so far, Katie xoxo <3
Don’t feel so alone now knowing this story caused you to shed tears. Thought was just me being my usual self, am too sensitive. One of the managers at our local Burger King and I have become friends. His Mom worked there also but has become very ill, had several strokes, is not expected to live much longer. He was telling me about her yesterday and the tears just came. He was surprised at my reaction. Somebody once told me am quite compassionate. Heck I cry when bad things happen to people in books I read. What can I do?
Phewy is it awfully hot where you live?, hope not for your sake. .Is over 100 out where we live today but at least we don’t have the humidity as we did in KY, native Kentuckians complained about heat/humidity, was brutal for us from the west. We live few miles west of Grand Junction, CO since August 2004., very dry here.
Was going to hang laundry today but Mr.Furry advised against it as we’re no spring chickens any more. Hate to use dryer when it’s nice out but do make exceptions in certain circumstances.
Your little dog Izzy is so cute, love photo. How old is he and what kind of dog?
Well need to go, Mr.furry has supper ready. Enjoy rest of your weekend Hugs
I love this bee story and have seen it before. Wonderful to be connected to each other and nature. Such a special story; one that strikes deep within each of us. Simple friendship with each other no matter who, what, where or when. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend.
Did my comment post? Not sure.
What an amazing little story! We all need to be aware of the “genocide” being perpetrated on our bees by the companies that make and sell products that contain chemicals that are poisonous to bees. Our bee population is severely depleted due to these products and they need to be banned asap in order to save the bees. What can we do? Don’t buy the products, don’t apply chemical weedkiller to your lawn, plant bee-friendly flowers and plants. And remember that we humans need the bees for pollinating much of the food we eat. The end of the bees is eventually the end of us.
Thanks for posting the little bee video, Katherine.
Good morning, Katherine. What a beautiful post! I shared it on my Facebook Author page. I’ve seen the video about the woman and the bee before and yes, it’s so lovely. It made me cry as well. Sending you lots of love to you and your family.
