Between the Bees
.
Just when you think
that it is safe to go back
outside
something reminds you
that it’s not
…
Stephen and I
recently
took a trip
to one of our local garden centres
to buy some nature
because everything is a product
and that product is for sale
if you’re willing
able
and have a reason
to buy it
…
as we parked up
I spotted a sign
instructing humans
to
please park between the bees
but
…
there weren’t any bees around
not real ones
it’s still a bit early
they’re still a bit sleepy
although I did have a red-tailed bumblebee land on my gardening hat
in March
that hat is now lost in a hedge
known as never to be worn again
(the bumble is fine
it laughed all the way away
after my panic)
…
how wonderful it is
that humans have invented
an Earth Day
to celebrate
what is natural
normal
and always there
no matter what we do
and
congratulate ourselves for it
…
nature is a very strange thing!
