Guardians of Light

“Everything takes time. Bees have to move very fast to stay still.”― David Foster Wallace, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men

“Let us be grateful
for the bees and fireflies—
small wonders
that keep the world
blooming and glowing,
our tiny guardians
of life and light.”
― Bhuwan Thapaliya

To put the world down
If but for a moment
To enter wonder and beauty
Revery and reverence
Let us be torches of kindness, of home
Lighthouses and warm embraces
To pick the world back up with love.

“To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.”
― Emily Dickinson, The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson
