While watching the bees visiting their flower buffet today, I recognized anew a metaphor for true joy.
The flowers grow with no worries. Flowers exist to fulfill their design and in doing so, nourish the earth and all those who dwell on it. While they are about their simple business, they give us beauty and fragrance, too!
The bees go about their business of collecting supplies and spreading diversity, from which they make honey to nourish themselves. We are the blessed recipients of nourishment on all levels from these beings who live without worry about the day to come, what they wear, or how their house looks!
I am sure you can see the reference now, to how these beings are at their best when they are being exactly who they are meant to be– with clarity of purpose, listening to their own, inborn internal knowledge. So it is with your being.
Consider, also, the aspect of how much they contribute to the whole of the world, simply being their own true selves.
Perhaps being your True Self brings into the world sweetness like honey and delight like a beautiful flower, more than you can know.
It will surely bring a brightness to your Being.
SO-Relax into being YOU and rejoice in that.
