A Bee’s Wisdom
A New Buzz on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

I watched this bee buzz from flower to flower drinking in the sweet nectar of each bloom to compose its healing honey.  It doesn’t discriminate its source based on colour, size, texture or which way it blows in the wind…

It doesn’t see the aesthetic of the flower and prefer one over another or try to discern whether it’s a wildflower or a weed.  It seeks the universal essence shared by every flower curated or wild…where the elegant rose with its harsh thorns and the soft daisy are equally compelling and accessible to the bee. 

In this era of elevating the celebration of each other’s differences and recognizing the beauty of those who have been mistreated and marginalized for far too long,  I want to emphasize that while the history and the trauma of others seeks and deserves recognition, reparation and correction, it is the universal truth of all humanity that connects us and allows us to understand each other…to know each other deeply.  We are so fixated on exteriors, images, and ideals. 

Our souls are created equal and in that domain we all have the identical exquisite essence that feels pain and joy, love and loss, hope and stagnation, dreams and failures. 

Our stories of how we learned about our place in the world and where we stand among each other may be distinct but loneliness, isolation, fear, hurt and the list goes on and on are harsh realities no one escapes.  We all suffer from these conditions because they are human, they are universal, they are embedded in the marrow of our bones.  

From our essence, we can see each other more clearly and hear each other’s truth whether from privilege or poverty, opportunity or exclusion, friend or foe, we need to visit the golden sap within each other’s souls and see the beauty of each flower that seeks the sun.  The bee knows all about this.  How about you?
