I wanted to take a moment to comment about yesterday's cartoon (7/17/13). I hope it expresses that sense of perspective that nature brings to our lives.
Every morning, I have the wonderful opportunity to go outside to my garden and watch the bugs do their work. I am always fascinated by the bees. They will carry huge sacks of pollen on their legs and I always think, why don't they go back, empty what they have, and then come back more. Their sacks get so full, they have a hard time flying. They will stuff in as much pollen as they can fit, before they return to the hive. I think it's interesting to compare what seems like the simplicity of their task to the complexity of ours. Unlike humans, who need to deal with tangible and intangible issues, the bees (and bugs) are just trying to stuff in as much food as they can.
