The Birds and The Bees: What can Nature teach us about relationship?

"Bee" in The Moment

Welcome Spring!

I took this photo in my garden last week.  We’re having an early start to spring here in the Toronto area and it’s such a treat!  If you look closely at the photo you’ll see a bee with its head tucked inside a flower, totally obvlivious to the fact that it was on camera.  I’d say it was fully engaged in its relationship with the flower: gathering the nectar it needs to thrive and giving the flower what it needs to reproduce by carrying pollen to another flower.  Nature is all about relationship.  The beauty that we get to enjoy is often the result of partnerships in nature, undertaken for survival and propagation perhaps but what is created is often breathtaking.  We can learn many lessons about relationship when we look to nature. I wonder what can be created when we as humans create partnerships in service of what’s possible.  Hmmm… What do you think?
