Bees, Bees and Freeway Fun
Rolled semi spills load of bees at I-5 and I-405 interchange
Well, this made for some real fun for me this morning. Fortunately, I have tools to notify me when traffic’s getting ugly and was able to leave early to compensate. Thus I was expecting “issues”. So, as I crossed I5 via the 196th street overpass on my way to the northbound onramp, my lord, the backup was immense!
Bee that as it may (sorry for the pun, I just had to…), looking at the pictures, I feel sad for the bees. With bee populations are declining, seeing the massive bee kill was deeply disheartening. However, there clearly are dedicated professionals on site making sure the impact upon our buzzing friends is minimal. For that, I’m thankful.

Later Springtime
Air refreshed by rain
Petals fluttering downwards
No branches barren
Roadwards Drifting
Road dreams enticing
Calling me away from home
Footprints, only, left
Missed Living
Rage may be embraced
Attraction of false power
They miss life’s beauty
Within The Grass
Cautious, quick motion
Winged gods demand offerings
Terror in my grass.
Words
In the space between
Letters breathe intense fierceness
Slam into regrets
Invective and Rage
Invective and rage,
Today’s social currency.
Fire consuming all
Destructive vs Challenging Oneself
Holding yourself to a high standard and beating yourself mercilessly for not being perfect reflect two sides of a singularity. But they are not the same. One’s the path towards self-destruction and one leads to a vibrant and vigorous life. Focus on self-care and maintaining realistic expectations, and the rest will naturally fall into place.
