Peace

There is nothing more peaceful than a cat rubbing up next to you asking for something, we know not what. But we know it is love. I was standing next to the butterfly bush that my wife nurtures carefully each season. There were several big old ugly bumble bees buzzing from flower to flower around it. I recently read how bees and humans communicated, so I just bent over and said good morning, Mr. Bumblebee. I walked back after getting my morning paper, stopped to look at the other flowers in the garden and one of the bumblebees landed on my hand. Just turned in a circle and flew off. I am usually at war with bees, but I took this as a sign of coming peace.
