Kevin's been working at the Crescent Hotel gardens the past few weeks and has planted (he estimates) over 1500 plants. On these beautiful spring days, there are many bees and wasps which are very interested in what he's doing, to the point of flying around his head and even getting in his ears. We were talking about how he lives in harmony with these tiny, busy creatures, not fearing them or trying to swat them away, but letting them do their thing while they learn he is harmless. It's that telepathic thing, don't you think? The same mental connection which causes your dog to know when you're five minutes away from the house. I love that he's at one with nature to the extent that birds land on him. Thinking along these lines, I recall a little girl at The Clear Spring School. She was terribly afraid of bees, although blessedly not allergic to them, as one day she was stung three times. The bees happily danced around everyone else, but gave their life to fulfill her dread. Let's practice noticing our thoughts and the creatures around us, knowing that this same principle is at work in our human endeavors, too. What we expect from others is quite often what we get!
"All of God's creatures, moving in the harmony of Science, are harmless, useful, indestructible. A realization of this grand verity was a source of strength in the ancient worthies." Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 514:29
