A Bee Prayer
Winged spirit of sweetness, I call on you. Teach me the ways of transformation and fertilization, The path from pollen to sweetest honey. Teach me to taste the essence of each place I alight, Carrying that essence with me to continue creation’s cycle. Teach me the ways of hope, reminding me the ways of hope, Reminding me that what seems impossible may yet be achieved. Flitting tears of the gods, draw me ever closer to the wisdom hidden within beauty. Give me flight and sunlight, passion and productivity, Cooperation with those around me, and sharpened strength to defend my home. May I ever spiral out from my heart, searching for what I need, And return there once again to turn those lessons into nourishment. Bee spirit, I call to you.
