Experience I just had
I'm quite new to my path in druidism, so I've been studying Penny Billington's The Path of Druidry. At this point, I'm just working on picking up habits to make me more aware of my surroundings and help me begin to really connect with nature. One of the things the book sets out for you is to take the time to make circle, set intent, and do inner work at least a few times a week.
I was at a friend's house today, and they have a beautiful native garden. I decided I'd sit in the sunflowers and set an intent that I wanted to know the garden better. I felt very in tune with the bees... There were two big bumble bees that I was very aware of for some reason that almost seemed like they were "guardians."
And then, later today, after what I felt was a really bonding moment, I got stung by a bee in an unrelated incident for the first time since I was a child.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but I found it funny; couldn't help but laugh.
