Re: what it BEE like to BE a BEE womyn
Mon, June 19, 2006 - 12:28 PMi think that part of the story in the book was very interesting and also her "savior" in the time of need kinda thing.
I think bees (and honey and pollen) are VERY spiritual beings...and things....they are sweet and healthy and can also heal. I can see where starhawk took this within the book....I think the universal "hummmm" in simiilar to the "om" and just reflects that "oneness" we all wish to have continuously on our quest for enlightenment.....now i buzz at the bees swirming by.................. -

Tue, June 20, 2006 - 6:18 AMBecome that high priest,
the bee. Drone your way
from one fragrant
temple to another, nosing
into each altar. Drink
what's divine--
and while you're there,
let some of the sacred
cling to your limbs.
Wherever you go
leave a small trail
of its golden crumbs.
In your wake
the world unfolds
its rapture, the fruit
of its blooming.
Rooms in your house
fill with that sweetness
your body both
makes and eats.
