This...You did a very good and important thing here.<br />This is my favorite post of yours so far--(I'm not reading in order, just jumping around on your blog)--<br />even though I LOVE all the photos of your art and dolls.<br /><br />Your event reminds me:<br />One day a friend and I saw a dead, big & beautiful bumble bee on a walking path. <br /><br />I had a couple of my little red-hair dolls with me, and they have an interest in funerals for tiny things (godknows why), <br />so we all stopped so they could bury the bee at the edge of the path.<br /><br />As we were preparing to do this, however, a very drunk young man came up and asked what we were doing.<br />We told him, and he started talking and talking--not very coherently, sometimes belligerently, but he seemed attracted to/interested in the dead bee.<br /><br />I asked him if he would like to take the bee to bury himself, <br />and he said yes!<br />So we handed him the bee, which he received carefully--reverently?--on his open palm. <br /><br />He was so drunk, I thought perhaps I should offer a suggestion of what to do next:<br />I said,"You could just find a patch of flowers to put the bee in."<br /><br />We walked on, and the last I saw of him, he was walking off, very slowly, looking at his palm.<br /><br />This felt like an important encounter, somehow.Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527249508675423548.post-54648826555844807882018-07-11T19:24:23.224-07:002018-07-11T19:24:23.224-07:00and this is why you are such a valued teacher in t...and this is why you are such a valued teacher in the great scope of things.

I feel sure that if children were taught about nature the world would be a better place.<br />We learnt the names of all the trees and wild flowers when I was at school many moons ago, we always had a nature table and I don't think this is as important in schools now.<br />Briony<br />xcrafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.com
