And as they flew away, we were thrilled to have made a difference!
My husband and I saved a bumble bee the other night. We were on a slow "stroll" on the lake in our ski boat. I was happy that I love sitting in the bow on the chaise seats, observing the sky, water, flora, fauna, etc; otherwise I may not have seen the struggle. As we were passing through a "no wake zone" I noticed a strange circular pattern in the water's surface. I called attention to my captain; as he navigated close, I saw a bumble bee. They/He/She was on its back, going in circles, trying to make the 50 foot passage to shore (I presume). The circular water pattern was movement, but very slow going!
"It's a bee; he's going to drown. Can we go back and help?"
My husband commanded the boat along side the bee; meanwhile I'm wondering, how do I save a bee without using my hands. I grabbed one of the supports for the boat's canvas cover and dipped it into the water alongside "our bee". The bee nearly grabbed on, and missed. I moved the pole back to them, again and again. Finally, the bee found a hold and I pulled she/he/them into the boat.Next question ... how to help? How I wanted to hold that bee and warm them up. I put the pole on the back couch seat, and sat nearby. I grabbed a towel and placed it next to the bee. He/She/They got off the pole and started cleaning up ... or drying. I'm not exactly sure; I think they would wipe off water with the front legs and then dry the legs with their mouth.
We went slowly, trying to minimize any breeze. After just a couple of minutes, the bee was on the towel. They continued to "clean", sporadically appearing to flap their wings. Suddenly, they were sufficiently prepared for take off and ... zoom ... off they traveled toward the pines."
In that moment, we were so proud of that little bee. It felt so good to be somebody's angel! Did they make it? I don't know that for sure. But I know they were given a "leg up" even if it was with a 3-foot pole.
As we not only conceptualize our interconnection with one another but also as a collective of life with Earth, we make the world more peaceful, loving, kind. It can be monumental when we take a side-step to help another up from their fall. I am so grateful for the times my fall was broken by another who slowed their pace to lift ME! I flood my gratitude into the collective.
Take a moment throughout your day to connect, to help, to feel
gratitude. It lifts the collective, firstly as ourselves and then
THROUGH ourSELVES!
I love you. BEE Kind!
