I heard an original
and beautiful song today.
There’s a bee in our new shed
swinging around, looking for its life.
I thought about killing it.
I thought about killing it.
Like I thought about my life.
-M. Taggart
(No worries, I’m not suicidal. Just how the words came out
and I prefer to leave them alone once they are here.
I have a lot going on- including my father’s celebration
of life in a few days.)

I think this shows how we really get stuck in our own perspectives—that it makes it easier to forget what these creatures and insects must feel.
Though still, if I see a bee or spider invading my home, I know it’s time to burn the house down. 😂
I really loved those last couple lines as I’m sure many can resonate with it. It’s very poignant and stirring from start to finish.

The words come as they may. Let them be just like the bee. And hope the coming days prove to be calm and peaceful. Just keep expelling the words. 🙂
