The bee on the cosmos...

Daily I am touched by the natural world around me where I live. Daily there are miracles. I walked out late this afternoon with the dogs and went to take pictures of my giant, late blooming orange sulfur cosmos, and much to my delight there was a bee on one. He wasn't moving and I wondered if he was dead. I got very close and looked and I saw that he was indeed moving very slowly. I very gingerly touched his velvet soft furry back, very lightly, just barely, because I didn't want oil from my hand to hurt him, and he twitched all around but didn't fly away. It was a warm day today and I just stood in reverence, the bee, the cosmos, and me. There are so many miracles in the world, if only we have eyes to see...
