We have been doing some interacting with bee's lately. I thought that I had a paralizing fear of bee's, and suddenly realized, "what's the worst thing that could hapen to me? I could get stung...big deal...it's happened before." haha...So Solomon and I now tell bee's "Don't touch me and I wont touch you!" <BR/><BR/>Its amazing that you are so fearless and trusting. This is an area that I struggle with. I don't know if it has anything to do with growing up in Los Angeles, because my husband grew up in Greensburg, PA and he thinks I'm a paranoid whacko...I really try so hard to just hand over my family and myself to God, knowing that He has lent all lives to me...but its just such a struggle...<BR/><BR/>Great blog!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07234486075039958631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30350133.post-4059443392807727192008-06-14T07:19:00.000-04:002008-06-14T07:19:00.000-04:00I agree with ya Jenny, its all about living life t...I agree with ya Jenny, its all about living life the best you can but being aware of your surroundings and that our kids have that same sense, we confuse them so much from birth, for instance don't talk to strangers say hello when someone says hello, poor little mites makes you wonder how they survive but they do. I also wonder about the influences that others have especially when it comes to bees or insects in general, I just can't believe how many Americans just kill insects because its there in their space when they don't even think that maybe we are the ones invading their space ie: the garden where flowers are, I'm doing my best to teach my son the cycle of the insects and what their mission here on earth is, that doesn't mean let the bee sting you it just means be aware and mindful of other creatures, so far he is doing a real good job, if insects are in the house then we do our best to capture and release however if I'm sensing that we're threatened then I have to send them to the light but in general capture & release, I so love the busy-ness of the insects early in the morning whilst I'm gardening its so amazing to watch them do their thing.underneaththeolivetreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651722081333733443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30350133.post-75962898299783709352008-06-14T03:01:00.000-04:002008-06-14T03:01:00.000-04:00you say that you trust people, and you trust your ...you say that you trust people, and you trust your son. so, would you let your 9 year old walk to a friends house or to the store? of course you would, because you trust him and teach him common sense. so what is the big problem with letting him ride the subway? have you ever visited new york? have you ever ridden the subway? it's not bad. there aren't people lurking behind every corner looking for fresh blood. the subway is not a dangerous place. yeah, sure, there are some bad apples, so to speak, but you get them everywhere.... even in your back yard. i guess all i'm saying is as much as i respect you i expect more respect of others from you, even if that is letting a nine year old ride the subway alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
