Everything is perception

I real­ized this once again the other day after receiv­ing a rather scary let­ter from a neigh­bor.  Here’s the thing… some busy lit­tle bees ven­tured into our yard a few years ago and ever since we’ve been eagerly watch­ing them work on their really incred­i­ble beehive.

We use a lot of bee prod­ucts in our house­hold, from beeswax crayons and can­dles to honey to eat­ing bee pollen as a snack.  We love bees.  We appre­ci­ate them and adore them.  We’ve sat for many min­utes mar­veling at their work and watched doc­u­men­taries and checked out books from the library all about this absolute won­der of nature.  When small pieces of the wax would fall off in a storm we brought it into the house and placed it on our nature table.  We’ve lit­er­ally sat in awe of the geom­e­try and exact pre­ci­sion at each indi­vid­ual hexa­gon.  We’ve done geom­e­try lessons off of these lit­tle cells that were not nearly as pre­cise as theirs.

And then we got the let­ter.  A car­ing neigh­bor noticed the hive!  He wrote a detailed let­ter about his absolute worry and fear that chil­dren play in this yard with this very dan­ger­ous thing lurk­ing in our tree!  He wrote of things he’s watched in the news like, “African killer bees”  and “attack.”  We all got a very good laugh out of the well-meaning let­ter, but boy did it bring home the real­ity that we each cre­ate our own real­i­ties!  eeekkk.

And as always a good reminder of tak­ing a look of where  am still oper­at­ing out of fear rather than appre­ci­a­tion.  I am not afraid of bees, but I do have other fears that still lurk in my con­scious­ness.  What about you?  What are some areas in your life where you are going against the grain of soci­ety and choos­ing appre­ci­a­tion over some­thing our media tells you you should be afraid of?
