I was sitting in my yard yesterday and a bee started swarming around my head and like a typical person, I jumped and ran. As I was running though, for some reason I stopped and looked at it. I remembered this article I had read in a natural health magazine where an actress said that bees are so beautiful and you never really see them anymore. Those words ran in my head and I watched as this little bee landed on me. He must have gotten bored of me because he flew away but I kept thinking, "I really hope he doesn't sting me." That thought led me to another thought that was both beautiful and terrifying to me. Bees only sting once because once their stinger is gone, they die.
Can you imagine that for a second? It is allowed to be completely free and fly, create honey, and build massive hives, but should it harm another being, it dies. Could you imagine if that were the case for humans? We would have gone extinct by now. Think back on your life and try to tell me, or yourself, that you never harmed another soul. I know I can't do it, and I am guessing you can't either.
I think we all need to start thinking like we are bees. We shouldn't harm others emotionally, physically, or spiritually. Maybe remembering the life of a bee will help us force ourselves to stop next time we even think a harmful thought. I know I will.
