I was sitting outside drinking my homemade cacao drink and thoroughly enjoying the sunshine when I happened to look down and to my shock there was a bee sitting on my upper thigh as calm as could be like he was my best friend. My first reaction was panic but I didn't want to get stung. I managed to get it to climb on my mug handle to get it off me and it came up to the rim of my mug. Using a dried up leaf, I tried to get it off so it doesn't fall in my drink. It didn't want to get off and I noticed it was tasting where my lips had been and I realized it was probably hungry. So I set my mug down and finally got it to climb on the leaf.
Then using a small piece of wood that was lying by the house foundation, I used it to keep the leaf from blowing away and giving the bee a wild ride because it is quite breezy today.
As I sat back, glad to have the bee off my mug, the thought crossed my mind how every action has a reaction, you know, how throwing a pebble into a pond causes ripples across the surface, and I thought that maybe I could share some of my drink with the bee and proceeded to take my spoon and drop some liquid on the leaf in front of it and sure enough that's what it wanted. It immediately proceeded to fill its hungry stomach.
Realizing what progress this was for me I came inside to get my phone to take a picture. (The bee was there at least 15 minutes drinking it all up.)
After a few minutes I moved my bucket that I was sitting on a few yards over so I could sit with my back against the side of the house. Sitting there enjoying the beautiful day I happened to look down and there amongst the blades of green and brown grass was a little dark feather with a tinge of white around the top edge.
I picked it up with delight and stroked it gently, admiring it's beauty. I had been wishing for nature to put some feathers in my path. I sat there, thinking of the events that had just unfolded and I looked down at the feather again with tenderness and delight as my eyes brimmed with tears and my heart overflowed with delight.
Just a glimpse of this beautiful day that I'm enjoying. I hope you enjoyed the story too. Never underestimate the power of little things...
Ps. Apparently bees are a good omen according to what was said when I was watching this reiki video later in the evening. So I did some digging and came across these interesting things:
It happens to be a northern paper wasp that I interacted with and you can find some interesting information here.
