My Sacred Life - Day 6

The bringer of blossoms

I snapped this photo today during my lunch break. The little bees have been busy with the blooming trees at work. The little guys have reminded me to take a look at the imbalance of my life.
Ted Andrews' book, Animal Speak, describes bees as a symbol of accomplishing quests that appeared impossible. He further writes, "The bee is a reminder to extract the honey of life and to make our lives fertile while the sun shines."
My life is, indeed, sweet though I've seemed to forget that from time to time this month. Work has been a drain and has left me frustrated and angry more than a few times. I take my job seriously, perhaps too seriously at times and I don't like bringing my frustrations home with me. I've been working hard to let go of things I am unable to control or change and to release anger in a way that's healthy. Through meditation, sacred space, writing and MUCH laughter, I'm trudging my way out of the muck and making more time tasting the sweetness of life.
It's the weekend, Huzzah! My afternoons been filled with incense, candles and the ethereal voice of Lisa Gerrard. My evening will be filled with some baking, crafting and perhaps an extra long hot bath.
Here's to a relaxing, rejuvenating, safe weekend filled with magical moments and lots of laughter.

Send Your Love - Sting

Finding the world in the smallness of a grain of sand
And holding infinities in the palm of your hand
And Heaven's realms in the seedlings of this tiny flower
And eternities in the space of a single hour
Send your love into the future
Send your love into the distant dawn
Inside your mind is a relay station
A mission probe into the unknowing
We send a seed to a distant future
Then we can watch the galaxies growing
This ain't no time for doubting your power
This ain't no time for hiding your care
You're climbing down from an ivory tower
You've got a stake in the world we ought to share
You see the stars are moving so slowly
But still the earth is moving so fast
Can't you see the moon is so lonely
She's still trapped in the pain of the past
This is the time of the worlds colliding
This is the time of kingdoms falling
This is the time of the worlds dividing
Time to heed your call
Send your love into the future
Send your precious love into some distant time
And fix that wounded planet with the love of your healing
Send your love
Send your love
There's no religion but sex and music
There's no religion but sound and dancing
There's no religion but line and color
There's no religion but sacred trance
There's no religion but the endless ocean
There's no religion but the moon and stars
There's no religion but time and motion
There's no religion, just tribal scars
Throw a pebble in and watch the ocean
See the ripples vanish in the distance
It's just the same with all the emotions
It's just the same in every instance
There's no religion but the joys of rhythm
There's no religion but the rites of Spring
There's no religion in the path of hate
No prayer but the one I sing
Send your love into the future
Send your precious love into some distant time
And fix that wounded planet with the love of your healing
Send your love
Send your love
There's no religion but sex and music
There's no religion that's right or winning
There's no religion in the path of hatred
Ain't no prayer but the one I'm singing
Send your love
Send your love
