Bees

your body is the harp of your soul,

And it is yours to bring forth sweet music

from it or confused sounds.

And now you ask in your heart,

" How shall

we distinguish that which is good in pleasure

from that which is not good?"

Go to your fields and your gardens, and you

shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to

gather honey of the flower,

But it is also the pleasure of the flower to

yield its honey to the bee.

For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life,

And to the flower a bee is a messenger of

love,

And to both, bee and flower, the giving and

the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ec-

stasy.

be in your pleasures like flowers and bees
