Metaphysical Musings

Yes, we may live in a beautiful, mystical world that's filled with magic. But sometimes, some things can be perfectly mundane.

Some preliminary research, before reaching for the wand or hexbag or spell could save a person. Sometimes, what may appear to be a hex or curse or possession, could very well just be an abrupt onset or previously unknown condition/ailment.

If you have a honeybee buzzing around you, obviously never swat at them. But there are 3 other things that no one mentions:

Pitch of buzzing: if it's a low, calming buzz, the bee is either curious or tired. The colour of your clothes or your scent has gotten her curious. Allow the bee to buzz around you, so she can understand you are not a flower! Also, she may be tired from a long, honey and pollen- laden flight, and just needs to rest. Let her! She's tired and just needs a minute to recoup. Honeybees are drawn to top-facing surfaces, so shoulders and heads are common places for them to land. You can also carefully, calmly redirect their path from hair and loose clothing, as they will get tangled up in them. If, however, the buzzing is higher pitched (sounds like an RC car), she is irritated. Calmly move away.

Speed and pattern of flight: If the honeybee's flight pattern around you is swift, with plenty of sudden direction changes, she is quite vexed with you. Do not swat, keep your hands by your sides, and move away from the bee. Honeybees that are agitated will follow for about 6 meters (about 20ft) before considering leaving. If the bee gets tangled in loose clothing or long hair, calmly part it, and let the bee free, without touching her. If her flight pattern is long, lazy circles, she is, again, merely curious about your presence. Ignore the bee, as best as you can.

Vibrations: Honeybees are sensitive to vibrations in the air, which includes your heartbeat and voice. The faster your heart rate or the more you scream/yell, the more agitated the bee will get. The faster the vibrations, the more the bee will attack. They become agitated because, for lack of a better phrase, it throws off their groove. Yes, sometimes it can be scary having a bee buzzing near you, but keeping your heart rate as normal as possible and being as quiet as you can, will have the bee on her way in no time.

Dear Valerie,

As we are free Within our own confines And no matter how much We expand we only create Newer limitations Who then does your God worship

The past is gone, dying, dead. To remain there is to relive your death over and over.

The future is uncertain, unmade, unable. To remain there is to continually be shattered and unwhole.

The now is here, clear, focused. To remain is to be able to explore everywhere.
