Spiritual Direction for Buzzy Bees

Nine bean rows will I have there
A hive for the honey bee and
Live in a bee loud glade.
From Lake Isle of Innisfree
By W. B Yeats
Are you living a life filled with the gladness of being. I suspect that for many of us we are more living a life not of a bee loud glade but as the experience of noise and haste that is our busy bee lives.
In my weekly podcast entitled The Deep Hearts Core, taken from the last line of the poem by W. B Yeats entitled “Lake Isle of Innisfree” I invite you not to be a busy bee that is forever doing your life but to create some real sense of lifes sweetness from the buzz of simply being.
A hive is a kind of community. The word community derives from the word communion and this expreince of communion is a state of being out of which real gladness arises. Gladness is more than happiness which has a tendancy to be something we manipulate for our own ends.
Are you willing to learn to invite some real direction into your busy bee life that will give you what W. B Yeats called the peace that comings droppings slow. In your head you have a buzz that is anything but the sound of gladness. It is that buzz that is your doing your less than glad life.
As a storyteller and spiritual director it is my intention to invite you into what W. B Yeats called the bee loud glade. He used the word glade for a specfic reason in order to remind you and I of our real sense of gladness that is available to each of us when we follow our true direction and find real sweetness in being the dance of Love that we have come here to share. This is the real buzz of being here as a human being on this planet.
Come and learn to live the sweetness at the deep hearts core and become a real hive of creative activity.
