Hello readers and friends! I had a bit of a walk earlier, and after that I was milling around in my backyard when a couple of things popped out to me.

You know, it says in my bio that I’m always searching for the magic in our world, but the truth is that I stopped having to search for it a long time ago. It just shows itself now. I see signs and remark on the wonders of the natural world and all I learn from it as a constant practice.

So, today. First I saw the insect hive. I think it must belong to some sort of bee, or possibly a tiny hornet? I am no good with this sort of identification.

But look at it, it’s so perfect except the top is removed. And it must have fallen, probably from the trees based on where I found it. However, I had to run back inside and get my phone to take a pic, and when I went back out the little hive had moved. It’s possible that the wind blew it around, but I had another thought too. Are there more tiny creatures in some unopened cells in the hive? Did another break loose, buzz around in there and cause the hive to roll? Purely conjecture…

Anyway, as I went inside to grab my camera I spotted this partial robin egg shell on the ground nearby. A new bird in the world!

The birds AND the bees? Lol What message shall we take from that?

Taking the two signs together, I instantly started thinking about new life, the natural order and the wonder of everything coming together so perfectly. How many things have to go right for each of us to get our chance in this world? It never ceases to amaze me.

Also, the beauty of nature’s simple, efficient shapes. That sacred geometry constantly replayed. We are meant to behold these tiny every day wonders with awe and reverence.

The world is so full of gifts. Find them, accept them, wonder…and smile.
