This photo keeps reminding me of Richard Rohr’s book, Everything Belongs. Everything belongs—shadow and light, cloud and sky, boulder and dust, high ground and riverbed, land and water. We all belong too 💗

Bees doing their thing is pretty amazing. Capturing any of it in a still shot is a joy. I’m discovering I need to return to the practice of finding good each day 🙌🏼 Definitely soothes the heart and mind. These are some wild times we’re living. Take care ☮️ #photography
