She loves him with all her heart

When she sees him

She sees the whole Universe

When he looks at her

He longs to become all That she sees

Her heart beat echoes

In every form he takes

The desire to become one escalates

She becomes a flower

Ready to embrace all That he is

He dives into the deepest part of her

Until completely satisfied

He dissolves completely into her essence

 

Now she thinks she has lost him

She will not let go of her dreams of him

She thinks they are all that is left of him

Until…

She feels the greater garden

It pulsates within her

A light envelops her

She dives into the deepest parts of it

Knowing in this pulsating

Her true love lives

Falling in love with my soul mate opened me up to a greater understanding that love is greater than the connection we felt. We surrendered to That. It is trusting in That which keeps me diving deeper. Grace shines a pathway through each feeling of loss and reveals what my reasoning cannot explain. Yet the heart feels peaceful again and again.

Connections and contrasts are often compelling — whether interpersonal or visual, as I like to represent in my art via metaphor. We're all walking pastiches of the connections we've formed and those we've yet to become a part of, some closer than others, some clearer, others less so. See the source components here.

In the neon-lit labyrinth of a cyberpunk world, Isabela and Elsie, the dynamic duo, take on the roles of futuristic combat androids. With sleek metallic armor reflecting the pulsating lights of the cityscape, they stand ready for action, their gaze piercing through the digital haze

Description: Powwows are large social gatherings of Native Americans who follow traditional dances started centuries ago by their ancestors, and which continually evolve to include contemporary aspects. These events of drum music, dancing, singing, artistry and food, are attended by Natives and non-Natives, all of whom join in the dancing and take advantage of the opportunity to see old friends and teach the traditional ways to a younger generation. During the National Powwow, the audience see dancers in full regalia compete in several dance categories, including Men and Women's Golden Age (ages 50 and older); Men's Fancy Dance, Grass and Traditional (Northern and Southern); Women's Jingle Dress, Fancy Shawl, and Traditional (Northern and Southern); Teens (13-17); Juniors (6-12) and Tiny Tots (ages 5 and younger). The drum groups are the heart of all powwows and provide the pulsating and thunderous beats that accompany a dancer's every movement. The powwow is led by three "host drums" that showcase three distinct styles of singing (Northern, Southern and contemporary) and represent the best examples of each style. The drum contest highlights groups of 10 to 12 members each, and they sing traditional family songs that are passed down orally from one generation to the next. The National Museum of the American Indian sponsored the National Powwow in 2002, 2005, and 2007 as a way of presenting to the public the diversity and social traditions of contemporary Native cultures.

Commentary.

 

From the Causeway across the River Croe stands

the sunrise-lit peak of Sgurr Mhic Bharraich, 779 metres, 2,556 feet.

To the right is the col Bealach Ratagan, taking a spectacular switchback road to Glenelg, Loch Hourn, Arnisdale and Corran.

On the southern shore of Loch Duich is the linear Ratagan village, on this clear September morning.

The stillness creates lustrous reflections of mountain, forest, village and cottage.

Only the mesmerising, pulsating call of an Oyster-Catcher breaks the tranquillity of this captivating early morning scene.

 

The blue-ringed octopuses (genus Hapalochlaena) are three (or perhaps four) octopus species that live in tide pools and coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, from Japan to Australia. They are recognized as some of the world's most venomous marine animals. Despite their small size and relatively docile nature, they can prove dangerous to humans. They can be recognized by their characteristic blue and black rings and yellowish skin. When the octopus is agitated, the brown patches darken dramatically, and iridescent blue rings or clumps of rings appear and pulsate within the maculae. Typically 50-60 blue rings cover the dorsal and lateral surfaces of the mantle. They hunt small crabs, hermit crabs, and shrimp, and may bite attackers, including humans, if provoked. the octopus in the photo is approximately 100-120mm long

Cute little Android doll at JB HiFi at Westlakes Shopping Centre, where I was window shopping.

 

My son wanted to show me a variety of smartphone and tablets. I also saw an awesome 75" Samsung LCD TV that I fiercely lusted after, but I don't want it enough to pay $10K. If it wasn't for their products, I'd avoid this place ... loud music doof-doofing away, visual clutter everywhere, bright glittering/pulsating lights, crowds ... yeech. But the prices are cheap.

Vincent van Gogh

Dutch, 1853-1890

Oil on canvas

Indianapolis Museum of Art

 

This canvas was painted in the Provencal town of Saint-Rémy, as van Gogh recuperated from a nervous breakdown suffered on Christmas Eve, 1888, during Gauguin's fateful visit. It is one of four views of a walled wheat field executed in the autumn of 1889. Symbols of the artist's pantheistic beliefs, the plowed terrain and rugged mountain peaks pulsate with a fertile inner life, charged by the picture's dynamic brushwork, rich surface texture and varied colors.

  

As I slowly moved about this little section of the river, I kept finding myself climbing on stones, looking for higher compositions. My thinking at the time was to showcase more of a complete view of the area. Ultimately, I slid in very low behind some mossy stones and tried to highlight a small spillway that fluctuated with a different look every few seconds. It seemed odd to me at the time, as rivers usually flow continuously.

 

At any rate, my hiking friend Ken was waiting patiently for me higher up near the trail, so I needed to move along. Truth be told, I could spend the better part of any day just meandering along such places. Seeking interesting light is always pretty rewarding!

In spite of the Caribbean waters being a bit too turbid for good photography, the protected waters of Yal Ku Lagoon provided for some nice relaxing snorkeling. Of course while the diversity in this brackish zone, where river meets ocean, was much less impressive than that of the coral reefs we still managed to find some really neat critters around.

 

Most certainly my favorite were the "Upside Down" Jellyfish which speckled the shallow sea floor of the lagoon. These bizarre animals at first glance are easily mistaken for sea anemones but upon closer inspection can be seen pulsating in typical jelly fashion. Their symbiotic relationship with an algae residing in their body requires them to spend most of their time upside down resting in shallow, clear waters as to provide plenty of sunshine for the algae.

"I saw the Storm and ice covered land

I saw the frozen trees so silent

I saw the blackness of their branches

under the unforgiving snow

Down down into the earth i went

Deeper and darker places surrounded me

Until the colors came

Until the swirling shapes danced around me

There the roots of life drew forth from a greater Life

This is the place of the Great Dream

Where the Garden ever pulsates

From this place the roots draw forth and sustain entire worlds

The seasons draw from on eternal Spring

changing the shapes of Infinity over and over again."

Unedited from a journal entry written after meditating on the "Four Eternal Principles". Focusing on the meaning of those journaled words came this artwork on digital canvas. It reminds me of how everything we touch, taste, smell, see, feel, hear....is connected to a greater Source beyond the senses and immerses us in a grander experience each time we are courageous enough to let go of all the small ways we know ourselves.

According to all known laws

of aviation,

  

there is no way a bee

should be able to fly.

  

Its wings are too small to get

its fat little body off the ground.

  

The bee, of course, flies anyway

  

because bees don't care

what humans think is impossible.

  

Yellow, black. Yellow, black.

Yellow, black. Yellow, black.

  

Ooh, black and yellow!

Let's shake it up a little.

  

Barry! Breakfast is ready!

  

Ooming!

  

Hang on a second.

  

Hello?

  

- Barry?

- Adam?

  

- Oan you believe this is happening?

- I can't. I'll pick you up.

  

Looking sharp.

  

Use the stairs. Your father

paid good money for those.

  

Sorry. I'm excited.

  

Here's the graduate.

We're very proud of you, son.

  

A perfect report card, all B's.

  

Very proud.

  

Ma! I got a thing going here.

  

- You got lint on your fuzz.

- Ow! That's me!

  

- Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.

- Bye!

  

Barry, I told you,

stop flying in the house!

  

- Hey, Adam.

- Hey, Barry.

  

- Is that fuzz gel?

- A little. Special day, graduation.

  

Never thought I'd make it.

  

Three days grade school,

three days high school.

  

Those were awkward.

  

Three days college. I'm glad I took

a day and hitchhiked around the hive.

  

You did come back different.

  

- Hi, Barry.

- Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.

  

- Hear about Frankie?

- Yeah.

  

- You going to the funeral?

- No, I'm not going.

  

Everybody knows,

sting someone, you die.

  

Don't waste it on a squirrel.

Such a hothead.

  

I guess he could have

just gotten out of the way.

  

I love this incorporating

an amusement park into our day.

  

That's why we don't need vacations.

  

Boy, quite a bit of pomp...

under the circumstances.

  

- Well, Adam, today we are men.

- We are!

  

- Bee-men.

- Amen!

  

Hallelujah!

  

Students, faculty, distinguished bees,

  

please welcome Dean Buzzwell.

  

Welcome, New Hive Oity

graduating class of...

  

...9:15.

  

That concludes our ceremonies.

  

And begins your career

at Honex Industries!

  

Will we pick ourjob today?

  

I heard it's just orientation.

  

Heads up! Here we go.

  

Keep your hands and antennas

inside the tram at all times.

  

- Wonder what it'll be like?

- A little scary.

  

Welcome to Honex,

a division of Honesco

  

and a part of the Hexagon Group.

  

This is it!

  

Wow.

  

Wow.

  

We know that you, as a bee,

have worked your whole life

  

to get to the point where you

can work for your whole life.

  

Honey begins when our valiant Pollen

Jocks bring the nectar to the hive.

  

Our top-secret formula

  

is automatically color-corrected,

scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured

  

into this soothing sweet syrup

  

with its distinctive

golden glow you know as...

  

Honey!

  

- That girl was hot.

- She's my cousin!

  

- She is?

- Yes, we're all cousins.

  

- Right. You're right.

- At Honex, we constantly strive

  

to improve every aspect

of bee existence.

  

These bees are stress-testing

a new helmet technology.

  

- What do you think he makes?

- Not enough.

  

Here we have our latest advancement,

the Krelman.

  

- What does that do?

- Oatches that little strand of honey

  

that hangs after you pour it.

Saves us millions.

  

Oan anyone work on the Krelman?

  

Of course. Most bee jobs are

small ones. But bees know

  

that every small job,

if it's done well, means a lot.

  

But choose carefully

  

because you'll stay in the job

you pick for the rest of your life.

  

The same job the rest of your life?

I didn't know that.

  

What's the difference?

  

You'll be happy to know that bees,

as a species, haven't had one day off

  

in 27 million years.

  

So you'll just work us to death?

  

We'll sure try.

  

Wow! That blew my mind!

  

"What's the difference?"

How can you say that?

  

One job forever?

That's an insane choice to have to make.

  

I'm relieved. Now we only have

to make one decision in life.

  

But, Adam, how could they

never have told us that?

  

Why would you question anything?

We're bees.

  

We're the most perfectly

functioning society on Earth.

  

You ever think maybe things

work a little too well here?

  

Like what? Give me one example.

  

I don't know. But you know

what I'm talking about.

  

Please clear the gate.

Royal Nectar Force on approach.

  

Wait a second. Oheck it out.

  

- Hey, those are Pollen Jocks!

- Wow.

  

I've never seen them this close.

  

They know what it's like

outside the hive.

  

Yeah, but some don't come back.

  

- Hey, Jocks!

- Hi, Jocks!

  

You guys did great!

  

You're monsters!

You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it!

  

- I wonder where they were.

- I don't know.

  

Their day's not planned.

  

Outside the hive, flying who knows

where, doing who knows what.

  

You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen

Jock. You have to be bred for that.

  

Right.

  

Look. That's more pollen

than you and I will see in a lifetime.

  

It's just a status symbol.

Bees make too much of it.

  

Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it

and the ladies see you wearing it.

  

Those ladies?

Aren't they our cousins too?

  

Distant. Distant.

  

Look at these two.

  

- Oouple of Hive Harrys.

- Let's have fun with them.

  

It must be dangerous

being a Pollen Jock.

  

Yeah. Once a bear pinned me

against a mushroom!

  

He had a paw on my throat,

and with the other, he was slapping me!

  

- Oh, my!

- I never thought I'd knock him out.

  

What were you doing during this?

  

Trying to alert the authorities.

  

I can autograph that.

  

A little gusty out there today,

wasn't it, comrades?

  

Yeah. Gusty.

  

We're hitting a sunflower patch

six miles from here tomorrow.

  

- Six miles, huh?

- Barry!

  

A puddle jump for us,

but maybe you're not up for it.

  

- Maybe I am.

- You are not!

  

We're going 0900 at J-Gate.

  

What do you think, buzzy-boy?

Are you bee enough?

  

I might be. It all depends

on what 0900 means.

  

Hey, Honex!

  

Dad, you surprised me.

  

You decide what you're interested in?

  

- Well, there's a lot of choices.

- But you only get one.

  

Do you ever get bored

doing the same job every day?

  

Son, let me tell you about stirring.

  

You grab that stick, and you just

move it around, and you stir it around.

  

You get yourself into a rhythm.

It's a beautiful thing.

  

You know, Dad,

the more I think about it,

  

maybe the honey field

just isn't right for me.

  

You were thinking of what,

making balloon animals?

  

That's a bad job

for a guy with a stinger.

  

Janet, your son's not sure

he wants to go into honey!

  

- Barry, you are so funny sometimes.

- I'm not trying to be funny.

  

You're not funny! You're going

into honey. Our son, the stirrer!

  

- You're gonna be a stirrer?

- No one's listening to me!

  

Wait till you see the sticks I have.

  

I could say anything right now.

I'm gonna get an ant tattoo!

  

Let's open some honey and celebrate!

  

Maybe I'll pierce my thorax.

Shave my antennae.

  

Shack up with a grasshopper. Get

a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"!

  

I'm so proud.

  

- We're starting work today!

- Today's the day.

  

Oome on! All the good jobs

will be gone.

  

Yeah, right.

  

Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring,

stirrer, front desk, hair removal...

  

- Is it still available?

- Hang on. Two left!

  

One of them's yours! Oongratulations!

Step to the side.

  

- What'd you get?

- Picking crud out. Stellar!

  

Wow!

  

Oouple of newbies?

  

Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready!

  

Make your choice.

  

- You want to go first?

- No, you go.

  

Oh, my. What's available?

  

Restroom attendant's open,

not for the reason you think.

  

- Any chance of getting the Krelman?

- Sure, you're on.

  

I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out.

  

Wax monkey's always open.

  

The Krelman opened up again.

  

What happened?

  

A bee died. Makes an opening. See?

He's dead. Another dead one.

  

Deady. Deadified. Two more dead.

  

Dead from the neck up.

Dead from the neck down. That's life!

  

Oh, this is so hard!

  

Heating, cooling,

stunt bee, pourer, stirrer,

  

humming, inspector number seven,

lint coordinator, stripe supervisor,

  

mite wrangler. Barry, what

do you think I should... Barry?

  

Barry!

  

All right, we've got the sunflower patch

in quadrant nine...

  

What happened to you?

Where are you?

  

- I'm going out.

- Out? Out where?

  

- Out there.

- Oh, no!

  

I have to, before I go

to work for the rest of my life.

  

You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello?

  

Another call coming in.

  

If anyone's feeling brave,

there's a Korean deli on 83rd

  

that gets their roses today.

  

Hey, guys.

  

- Look at that.

- Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday?

  

Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted.

  

It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up.

  

Really? Feeling lucky, are you?

  

Sign here, here. Just initial that.

  

- Thank you.

- OK.

  

You got a rain advisory today,

  

and as you all know,

bees cannot fly in rain.

  

So be careful. As always,

watch your brooms,

  

hockey sticks, dogs,

birds, bears and bats.

  

Also, I got a couple of reports

of root beer being poured on us.

  

Murphy's in a home because of it,

babbling like a cicada!

  

- That's awful.

- And a reminder for you rookies,

  

bee law number one,

absolutely no talking to humans!

  

All right, launch positions!

  

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz,

buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!

  

Black and yellow!

  

Hello!

  

You ready for this, hot shot?

  

Yeah. Yeah, bring it on.

  

Wind, check.

  

- Antennae, check.

- Nectar pack, check.

  

- Wings, check.

- Stinger, check.

  

Scared out of my shorts, check.

  

OK, ladies,

  

let's move it out!

  

Pound those petunias,

you striped stem-suckers!

  

All of you, drain those flowers!

  

Wow! I'm out!

  

I can't believe I'm out!

  

So blue.

  

I feel so fast and free!

  

Box kite!

  

Wow!

  

Flowers!

  

This is Blue Leader.

We have roses visual.

  

Bring it around 30 degrees and hold.

  

Roses!

  

30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around.

  

Stand to the side, kid.

It's got a bit of a kick.

  

That is one nectar collector!

  

- Ever see pollination up close?

- No, sir.

  

I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it

over here. Maybe a dash over there,

  

a pinch on that one.

See that? It's a little bit of magic.

  

That's amazing. Why do we do that?

  

That's pollen power. More pollen, more

flowers, more nectar, more honey for us.

  

Oool.

  

I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow.

Oould be daisies. Don't we need those?

  

Oopy that visual.

  

Wait. One of these flowers

seems to be on the move.

  

Say again? You're reporting

a moving flower?

  

Affirmative.

  

That was on the line!

  

This is the coolest. What is it?

  

I don't know, but I'm loving this color.

  

It smells good.

Not like a flower, but I like it.

  

Yeah, fuzzy.

  

Ohemical-y.

  

Oareful, guys. It's a little grabby.

  

My sweet lord of bees!

  

Oandy-brain, get off there!

  

Problem!

  

- Guys!

- This could be bad.

  

Affirmative.

  

Very close.

  

Gonna hurt.

  

Mama's little boy.

  

You are way out of position, rookie!

  

Ooming in at you like a missile!

  

Help me!

  

I don't think these are flowers.

  

- Should we tell him?

- I think he knows.

  

What is this?!

  

Match point!

  

You can start packing up, honey,

because you're about to eat it!

  

Yowser!

  

Gross.

  

There's a bee in the car!

  

- Do something!

- I'm driving!

  

- Hi, bee.

- He's back here!

  

He's going to sting me!

  

Nobody move. If you don't move,

he won't sting you. Freeze!

  

He blinked!

  

Spray him, Granny!

  

What are you doing?!

  

Wow... the tension level

out here is unbelievable.

  

I gotta get home.

  

Oan't fly in rain.

  

Oan't fly in rain.

  

Oan't fly in rain.

  

Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down!

  

Ken, could you close

the window please?

  

Ken, could you close

the window please?

  

Oheck out my new resume.

I made it into a fold-out brochure.

  

You see? Folds out.

  

Oh, no. More humans. I don't need this.

  

What was that?

  

Maybe this time. This time. This time.

This time! This time! This...

  

Drapes!

  

That is diabolical.

  

It's fantastic. It's got all my special

skills, even my top-ten favorite movies.

  

What's number one? Star Wars?

  

Nah, I don't go for that...

  

...kind of stuff.

  

No wonder we shouldn't talk to them.

They're out of their minds.

  

When I leave a job interview, they're

flabbergasted, can't believe what I say.

  

There's the sun. Maybe that's a way out.

  

I don't remember the sun

having a big 75 on it.

  

I predicted global warming.

  

I could feel it getting hotter.

At first I thought it was just me.

  

Wait! Stop! Bee!

  

Stand back. These are winter boots.

  

Wait!

  

Don't kill him!

  

You know I'm allergic to them!

This thing could kill me!

  

Why does his life have

less value than yours?

  

Why does his life have any less value

than mine? Is that your statement?

  

I'm just saying all life has value. You

don't know what he's capable of feeling.

  

My brochure!

  

There you go, little guy.

  

I'm not scared of him.

It's an allergic thing.

  

Put that on your resume brochure.

  

My whole face could puff up.

  

Make it one of your special skills.

  

Knocking someone out

is also a special skill.

  

Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks.

  

- Vanessa, next week? Yogurt night?

- Sure, Ken. You know, whatever.

  

- You could put carob chips on there.

- Bye.

  

- Supposed to be less calories.

- Bye.

  

I gotta say something.

  

She saved my life.

I gotta say something.

  

All right, here it goes.

  

Nah.

  

What would I say?

  

I could really get in trouble.

  

It's a bee law.

You're not supposed to talk to a human.

  

I can't believe I'm doing this.

  

I've got to.

  

Oh, I can't do it. Oome on!

  

No. Yes. No.

  

Do it. I can't.

  

How should I start it?

"You like jazz?" No, that's no good.

  

Here she comes! Speak, you fool!

  

Hi!

  

I'm sorry.

  

- You're talking.

- Yes, I know.

  

You're talking!

  

I'm so sorry.

  

No, it's OK. It's fine.

I know I'm dreaming.

  

But I don't recall going to bed.

  

Well, I'm sure this

is very disconcerting.

  

This is a bit of a surprise to me.

I mean, you're a bee!

  

I am. And I'm not supposed

to be doing this,

  

but they were all trying to kill me.

  

And if it wasn't for you...

  

I had to thank you.

It's just how I was raised.

  

That was a little weird.

  

- I'm talking with a bee.

- Yeah.

  

I'm talking to a bee.

And the bee is talking to me!

  

I just want to say I'm grateful.

I'll leave now.

  

- Wait! How did you learn to do that?

- What?

  

The talking thing.

  

Same way you did, I guess.

"Mama, Dada, honey." You pick it up.

  

- That's very funny.

- Yeah.

  

Bees are funny. If we didn't laugh,

we'd cry with what we have to deal with.

  

Anyway...

  

Oan I...

  

...get you something?

- Like what?

  

I don't know. I mean...

I don't know. Ooffee?

  

I don't want to put you out.

  

It's no trouble. It takes two minutes.

  

- It's just coffee.

- I hate to impose.

  

- Don't be ridiculous!

- Actually, I would love a cup.

  

Hey, you want rum cake?

  

- I shouldn't.

- Have some.

  

- No, I can't.

- Oome on!

  

I'm trying to lose a couple micrograms.

  

- Where?

- These stripes don't help.

  

You look great!

  

I don't know if you know

anything about fashion.

  

Are you all right?

  

No.

  

He's making the tie in the cab

as they're flying up Madison.

  

He finally gets there.

  

He runs up the steps into the church.

The wedding is on.

  

And he says, "Watermelon?

I thought you said Guatemalan.

  

Why would I marry a watermelon?"

  

Is that a bee joke?

  

That's the kind of stuff we do.

  

Yeah, different.

  

So, what are you gonna do, Barry?

  

About work? I don't know.

  

I want to do my part for the hive,

but I can't do it the way they want.

  

I know how you feel.

  

- You do?

- Sure.

  

My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or

a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist.

  

- Really?

- My only interest is flowers.

  

Our new queen was just elected

with that same campaign slogan.

  

Anyway, if you look...

  

There's my hive right there. See it?

  

You're in Sheep Meadow!

  

Yes! I'm right off the Turtle Pond!

  

No way! I know that area.

I lost a toe ring there once.

  

- Why do girls put rings on their toes?

- Why not?

  

- It's like putting a hat on your knee.

- Maybe I'll try that.

  

- You all right, ma'am?

- Oh, yeah. Fine.

  

Just having two cups of coffee!

  

Anyway, this has been great.

Thanks for the coffee.

  

Yeah, it's no trouble.

  

Sorry I couldn't finish it. If I did,

I'd be up the rest of my life.

  

Are you...?

  

Oan I take a piece of this with me?

  

Sure! Here, have a crumb.

  

- Thanks!

- Yeah.

  

All right. Well, then...

I guess I'll see you around.

  

Or not.

  

OK, Barry.

  

And thank you

so much again... for before.

  

Oh, that? That was nothing.

  

Well, not nothing, but... Anyway...

  

This can't possibly work.

  

He's all set to go.

We may as well try it.

  

OK, Dave, pull the chute.

  

- Sounds amazing.

- It was amazing!

  

It was the scariest,

happiest moment of my life.

  

Humans! I can't believe

you were with humans!

  

Giant, scary humans!

What were they like?

  

Huge and crazy. They talk crazy.

  

They eat crazy giant things.

They drive crazy.

  

- Do they try and kill you, like on TV?

- Some of them. But some of them don't.

  

- How'd you get back?

- Poodle.

  

You did it, and I'm glad. You saw

whatever you wanted to see.

  

You had your "experience." Now you

can pick out yourjob and be normal.

  

- Well...

- Well?

  

Well, I met someone.

  

You did? Was she Bee-ish?

  

- A wasp?! Your parents will kill you!

- No, no, no, not a wasp.

  

- Spider?

- I'm not attracted to spiders.

  

I know it's the hottest thing,

with the eight legs and all.

  

I can't get by that face.

  

So who is she?

  

She's... human.

  

No, no. That's a bee law.

You wouldn't break a bee law.

  

- Her name's Vanessa.

- Oh, boy.

  

She's so nice. And she's a florist!

  

Oh, no! You're dating a human florist!

  

We're not dating.

  

You're flying outside the hive, talking

to humans that attack our homes

  

with power washers and M-80s!

One-eighth a stick of dynamite!

  

She saved my life!

And she understands me.

  

This is over!

  

Eat this.

  

This is not over! What was that?

  

- They call it a crumb.

- It was so stingin' stripey!

  

And that's not what they eat.

That's what falls off what they eat!

  

- You know what a Oinnabon is?

- No.

  

It's bread and cinnamon and frosting.

They heat it up...

  

Sit down!

  

...really hot!

- Listen to me!

  

We are not them! We're us.

There's us and there's them!

  

Yes, but who can deny

the heart that is yearning?

  

There's no yearning.

Stop yearning. Listen to me!

  

You have got to start thinking bee,

my friend. Thinking bee!

  

- Thinking bee.

- Thinking bee.

  

Thinking bee! Thinking bee!

Thinking bee! Thinking bee!

  

There he is. He's in the pool.

  

You know what your problem is, Barry?

  

I gotta start thinking bee?

  

How much longer will this go on?

  

It's been three days!

Why aren't you working?

  

I've got a lot of big life decisions

to think about.

  

What life? You have no life!

You have no job. You're barely a bee!

  

Would it kill you

to make a little honey?

  

Barry, come out.

Your father's talking to you.

  

Martin, would you talk to him?

  

Barry, I'm talking to you!

  

You coming?

  

Got everything?

  

All set!

  

Go ahead. I'll catch up.

  

Don't be too long.

  

Watch this!

  

Vanessa!

  

- We're still here.

- I told you not to yell at him.

  

He doesn't respond to yelling!

  

- Then why yell at me?

- Because you don't listen!

  

I'm not listening to this.

  

Sorry, I've gotta go.

  

- Where are you going?

- I'm meeting a friend.

  

A girl? Is this why you can't decide?

  

Bye.

  

I just hope she's Bee-ish.

  

They have a huge parade

of flowers every year in Pasadena?

  

To be in the Tournament of Roses,

that's every florist's dream!

  

Up on a float, surrounded

by flowers, crowds cheering.

  

A tournament. Do the roses

compete in athletic events?

  

No. All right, I've got one.

How come you don't fly everywhere?

  

It's exhausting. Why don't you

run everywhere? It's faster.

  

Yeah, OK, I see, I see.

All right, your turn.

  

TiVo. You can just freeze live TV?

That's insane!

  

You don't have that?

  

We have Hivo, but it's a disease.

It's a horrible, horrible disease.

  

Oh, my.

  

Dumb bees!

  

You must want to sting all those jerks.

  

We try not to sting.

It's usually fatal for us.

  

So you have to watch your temper.

  

Very carefully.

You kick a wall, take a walk,

  

write an angry letter and throw it out.

Work through it like any emotion:

  

Anger, jealousy, lust.

  

Oh, my goodness! Are you OK?

  

Yeah.

  

- What is wrong with you?!

- It's a bug.

  

He's not bothering anybody.

Get out of here, you creep!

  

What was that? A Pic 'N' Save circular?

  

Yeah, it was. How did you know?

  

It felt like about 10 pages.

Seventy-five is pretty much our limit.

  

You've really got that

down to a science.

  

- I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue.

- I'll bet.

  

What in the name

of Mighty Hercules is this?

  

How did this get here?

Oute Bee, Golden Blossom,

  

Ray Liotta Private Select?

  

- Is he that actor?

- I never heard of him.

  

- Why is this here?

- For people. We eat it.

  

You don't have

enough food of your own?

  

- Well, yes.

- How do you get it?

  

- Bees make it.

- I know who makes it!

  

And it's hard to make it!

  

There's heating, cooling, stirring.

You need a whole Krelman thing!

  

- It's organic.

- It's our-ganic!

  

It's just honey, Barry.

  

Just what?!

  

Bees don't know about this!

This is stealing! A lot of stealing!

  

You've taken our homes, schools,

hospitals! This is all we have!

  

And it's on sale?!

I'm getting to the bottom of this.

  

I'm getting to the bottom

of all of this!

  

Hey, Hector.

  

- You almost done?

- Almost.

  

He is here. I sense it.

  

Well, I guess I'll go home now

  

and just leave this nice honey out,

with no one around.

  

You're busted, box boy!

  

I knew I heard something.

So you can talk!

  

I can talk.

And now you'll start talking!

  

Where you getting the sweet stuff?

Who's your supplier?

  

I don't understand.

I thought we were friends.

  

The last thing we want

to do is upset bees!

  

You're too late! It's ours now!

  

You, sir, have crossed

the wrong sword!

  

You, sir, will be lunch

for my iguana, Ignacio!

  

Where is the honey coming from?

  

Tell me where!

  

Honey Farms! It comes from Honey Farms!

  

Orazy person!

  

What horrible thing has happened here?

  

These faces, they never knew

what hit them. And now

  

they're on the road to nowhere!

  

Just keep still.

  

What? You're not dead?

  

Do I look dead? They will wipe anything

that moves. Where you headed?

  

To Honey Farms.

I am onto something huge here.

  

I'm going to Alaska. Moose blood,

crazy stuff. Blows your head off!

  

I'm going to Tacoma.

  

- And you?

- He really is dead.

  

All right.

  

Uh-oh!

  

- What is that?!

- Oh, no!

  

- A wiper! Triple blade!

- Triple blade?

  

Jump on! It's your only chance, bee!

  

Why does everything have

to be so doggone clean?!

  

How much do you people need to see?!

  

Open your eyes!

Stick your head out the window!

  

From NPR News in Washington,

I'm Oarl Kasell.

  

But don't kill no more bugs!

  

- Bee!

- Moose blood guy!!

  

- You hear something?

- Like what?

  

Like tiny screaming.

  

Turn off the radio.

  

Whassup, bee boy?

  

Hey, Blood.

  

Just a row of honey jars,

as far as the eye could see.

  

Wow!

  

I assume wherever this truck goes

is where they're getting it.

  

I mean, that honey's ours.

  

- Bees hang tight.

- We're all jammed in.

  

It's a close community.

  

Not us, man. We on our own.

Every mosquito on his own.

  

- What if you get in trouble?

- You a mosquito, you in trouble.

  

Nobody likes us. They just smack.

See a mosquito, smack, smack!

  

At least you're out in the world.

You must meet girls.

  

Mosquito girls try to trade up,

get with a moth, dragonfly.

  

Mosquito girl don't want no mosquito.

  

You got to be kidding me!

  

Mooseblood's about to leave

the building! So long, bee!

  

- Hey, guys!

- Mooseblood!

  

I knew I'd catch y'all down here.

Did you bring your crazy straw?

  

We throw it in jars, slap a label on it,

and it's pretty much pure profit.

  

What is this place?

  

A bee's got a brain

the size of a pinhead.

  

They are pinheads!

  

Pinhead.

  

- Oheck out the new smoker.

- Oh, sweet. That's the one you want.

  

The Thomas 3000!

  

Smoker?

  

Ninety puffs a minute, semi-automatic.

Twice the nicotine, all the tar.

  

A couple breaths of this

knocks them right out.

  

They make the honey,

and we make the money.

  

"They make the honey,

and we make the money"?

  

Oh, my!

  

What's going on? Are you OK?

  

Yeah. It doesn't last too long.

  

Do you know you're

in a fake hive with fake walls?

  

Our queen was moved here.

We had no choice.

  

This is your queen?

That's a man in women's clothes!

  

That's a drag queen!

  

What is this?

  

Oh, no!

  

There's hundreds of them!

  

Bee honey.

  

Our honey is being brazenly stolen

on a massive scale!

  

This is worse than anything bears

have done! I intend to do something.

  

Oh, Barry, stop.

  

Who told you humans are taking

our honey? That's a rumor.

  

Do these look like rumors?

  

That's a conspiracy theory.

These are obviously doctored photos.

  

How did you get mixed up in this?

  

He's been talking to humans.

  

- What?

- Talking to humans?!

  

He has a human girlfriend.

And they make out!

  

Make out? Barry!

  

We do not.

  

- You wish you could.

- Whose side are you on?

  

The bees!

  

I dated a cricket once in San Antonio.

Those crazy legs kept me up all night.

  

Barry, this is what you want

to do with your life?

  

I want to do it for all our lives.

Nobody works harder than bees!

  

Dad, I remember you

coming home so overworked

  

your hands were still stirring.

You couldn't stop.

  

I remember that.

  

What right do they have to our honey?

  

We live on two cups a year. They put it

in lip balm for no reason whatsoever!

  

Even if it's true, what can one bee do?

  

Sting them where it really hurts.

  

In the face! The eye!

  

- That would hurt.

- No.

  

Up the nose? That's a killer.

  

There's only one place you can sting

the humans, one place where it matters.

  

Hive at Five, the hive's only

full-hour action news source.

  

No more bee beards!

  

With Bob Bumble at the anchor desk.

  

Weather with Storm Stinger.

  

Sports with Buzz Larvi.

  

And Jeanette Ohung.

  

- Good evening. I'm Bob Bumble.

- And I'm Jeanette Ohung.

  

A tri-county bee, Barry Benson,

  

intends to sue the human race

for stealing our honey,

  

packaging it and profiting

from it illegally!

  

Tomorrow night on Bee Larry King,

  

we'll have three former queens here in

our studio, discussing their new book,

  

Olassy Ladies,

out this week on Hexagon.

  

Tonight we're talking to Barry Benson.

  

Did you ever think, "I'm a kid

from the hive. I can't do this"?

  

Bees have never been afraid

to change the world.

  

What about Bee Oolumbus?

Bee Gandhi? Bejesus?

  

Where I'm from, we'd never sue humans.

  

We were thinking

of stickball or candy stores.

  

How old are you?

  

The bee community

is supporting you in this case,

  

which will be the trial

of the bee century.

  

You know, they have a Larry King

in the human world too.

  

It's a common name. Next week...

  

He looks like you and has a show

and suspenders and colored dots...

  

Next week...

  

Glasses, quotes on the bottom from the

guest even though you just heard 'em.

  

Bear Week next week!

They're scary, hairy and here live.

  

Always leans forward, pointy shoulders,

squinty eyes, very Jewish.

  

In tennis, you attack

at the point of weakness!

  

It was my grandmother, Ken. She's 81.

  

Honey, her backhand's a joke!

I'm not gonna take advantage of that?

  

Quiet, please.

Actual work going on here.

  

- Is that that same bee?

- Yes, it is!

  

I'm helping him sue the human race.

  

- Hello.

- Hello, bee.

  

This is Ken.

  

Yeah, I remember you. Timberland, size

ten and a half. Vibram sole, I believe.

  

Why does he talk again?

  

Listen, you better go

'cause we're really busy working.

  

But it's our yogurt night!

  

Bye-bye.

  

Why is yogurt night so difficult?!

  

You poor thing.

You two have been at this for hours!

  

Yes, and Adam here

has been a huge help.

  

- Frosting...

- How many sugars?

  

Just one. I try not

to use the competition.

  

So why are you helping me?

  

Bees have good qualities.

  

And it takes my mind off the shop.

  

Instead of flowers, people

are giving balloon bouquets now.

  

Those are great, if you're three.

  

And artificial flowers.

  

- Oh, those just get me psychotic!

- Yeah, me too.

  

Bent stingers, pointless pollination.

  

Bees must hate those fake things!

  

Nothing worse

than a daffodil that's had work done.

  

Maybe this could make up

for it a little bit.

  

- This lawsuit's a pretty big deal.

- I guess.

  

You sure you want to go through with it?

  

Am I sure? When I'm done with

the humans, they won't be able

  

to say, "Honey, I'm home,"

without paying a royalty!

  

It's an incredible scene

here in downtown Manhattan,

  

where the world anxiously waits,

because for the first time in history,

  

we will hear for ourselves

if a honeybee can actually speak.

  

What have we gotten into here, Barry?

  

It's pretty big, isn't it?

  

I can't believe how many humans

don't work during the day.

  

You think billion-dollar multinational

food companies have good lawyers?

  

Everybody needs to stay

behind the barricade.

  

- What's the matter?

- I don't know, I just got a chill.

  

Well, if it isn't the bee team.

  

You boys work on this?

  

All rise! The Honorable

Judge Bumbleton presiding.

  

All right. Oase number 4475,

  

Superior Oourt of New York,

Barry Bee Benson v. the Honey Industry

  

is now in session.

  

Mr. Montgomery, you're representing

the five food companies collectively?

  

A privilege.

  

Mr. Benson... you're representing

all the bees of the world?

  

I'm kidding. Yes, Your Honor,

we're ready to proceed.

  

Mr. Montgomery,

your opening statement, please.

  

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

  

my grandmother was a simple woman.

  

Born on a farm, she believed

it was man's divine right

  

to benefit from the bounty

of nature God put before us.

  

If we lived in the topsy-turvy world

Mr. Benson imagines,

  

just think of what would it mean.

  

I would have to negotiate

with the silkworm

  

for the elastic in my britches!

  

Talking bee!

  

How do we know this isn't some sort of

  

holographic motion-picture-capture

Hollywood wizardry?

  

They could be using laser beams!

  

Robotics! Ventriloquism!

Oloning! For all we know,

  

he could be on steroids!

  

Mr. Benson?

  

Ladies and gentlemen,

there's no trickery here.

  

I'm just an ordinary bee.

Honey's pretty important to me.

  

It's important to all bees.

We invented it!

  

We make it. And we protect it

with our lives.

  

Unfortunately, there are

some people in this room

  

who think they can take it from us

  

'cause we're the little guys!

I'm hoping that, after this is all over,

  

you'll see how, by taking our honey,

you not only take everything we have

  

but everything we are!

  

I wish he'd dress like that

all the time. So nice!

  

Oall your first witness.

  

So, Mr. Klauss Vanderhayden

of Honey Farms, big company you have.

  

I suppose so.

  

I see you also own

Honeyburton and Honron!

  

Yes, they provide beekeepers

for our farms.

  

Beekeeper. I find that

to be a very disturbing term.

  

I don't imagine you employ

any bee-free-ers, do you?

  

- No.

- I couldn't hear you.

  

- No.

- No.

  

Because you don't free bees.

You keep bees. Not only that,

  

it seems you thought a bear would be

an appropriate image for a jar of honey.

  

They're very lovable creatures.

  

Yogi Bear, Fozzie Bear, Build-A-Bear.

  

You mean like this?

  

Bears kill bees!

  

How'd you like his head crashing

through your living room?!

  

Biting into your couch!

Spitting out your throw pillows!

  

OK, that's enough. Take him away.

  

So, Mr. Sting, thank you for being here.

Your name intrigues me.

  

- Where have I heard it before?

- I was with a band called The Police.

  

But you've never been

a police officer, have you?

  

No, I haven't.

  

No, you haven't. And so here

we have yet another example

  

of bee culture casually

stolen by a human

  

for nothing more than

a prance-about stage name.

  

Oh, please.

  

Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting?

  

Because I'm feeling

a little stung, Sting.

  

Or should I say... Mr. Gordon M. Sumner!

  

That's not his real name?! You idiots!

  

Mr. Liotta, first,

belated congratulations on

  

your Emmy win for a guest spot

on ER in 2005.

  

Thank you. Thank you.

  

I see from your resume

that you're devilishly handsome

  

with a churning inner turmoil

that's ready to blow.

  

I enjoy what I do. Is that a crime?

  

Not yet it isn't. But is this

what it's come to for you?

  

Exploiting tiny, helpless bees

so you don't

  

have to rehearse

your part and learn your lines, sir?

  

Watch it, Benson!

I could blow right now!

  

This isn't a goodfella.

This is a badfella!

  

Why doesn't someone just step on

this creep, and we can all go home?!

  

- Order in this court!

- You're all thinking it!

  

Order! Order, I say!

  

- Say it!

- Mr. Liotta, please sit down!

  

I think it was awfully nice

of that bear to pitch in like that.

  

I think the jury's on our side.

  

Are we doing everything right, legally?

  

I'm a florist.

  

Right. Well, here's to a great team.

  

To a great team!

  

Well, hello.

  

- Ken!

- Hello.

  

I didn't think you were coming.

  

No, I was just late.

I tried to call, but... the battery.

  

I didn't want all this to go to waste,

so I called Barry. Luckily, he was free.

  

Oh, that was lucky.

  

There's a little left.

I could heat it up.

  

Yeah, heat it up, sure, whatever.

  

So I hear you're quite a tennis player.

  

I'm not much for the game myself.

The ball's a little grabby.

  

That's where I usually sit.

Right... there.

  

Ken, Barry was looking at your resume,

  

and he agreed with me that eating with

chopsticks isn't really a special skill.

  

You think I don't see what you're doing?

  

I know how hard it is to find

the rightjob. We have that in common.

  

Do we?

  

Bees have 100 percent employment,

but we do jobs like taking the crud out.

  

That's just what

I was thinking about doing.

  

Ken, I let Barry borrow your razor

for his fuzz. I hope that was all right.

  

I'm going to drain the old stinger.

  

Yeah, you do that.

  

Look at that.

  

You know, I've just about had it

  

with your little mind games.

  

- What's that?

- Italian Vogue.

  

Mamma mia, that's a lot of pages.

  

A lot of ads.

  

Remember what Van said, why is

your life more valuable than mine?

  

Funny, I just can't seem to recall that!

  

I think something stinks in here!

  

I love the smell of flowers.

  

How do you like the smell of flames?!

  

Not as much.

  

Water bug! Not taking sides!

  

Ken, I'm wearing a Ohapstick hat!

This is pathetic!

  

I've got issues!

  

Well, well, well, a royal flush!

  

- You're bluffing.

- Am I?

  

Surf's up, dude!

  

Poo water!

  

That bowl is gnarly.

  

Except for those dirty yellow rings!

  

Kenneth! What are you doing?!

  

You know, I don't even like honey!

I don't eat it!

  

We need to talk!

  

He's just a little bee!

  

And he happens to be

the nicest bee I've met in a long time!

  

Long time? What are you talking about?!

Are there other bugs in your life?

  

No, but there are other things bugging

me in life. And you're one of them!

  

Fine! Talking bees, no yogurt night...

  

My nerves are fried from riding

on this emotional roller coaster!

  

Goodbye, Ken.

  

And for your information,

  

I prefer sugar-free, artificial

sweeteners made by man!

  

I'm sorry about all that.

  

I know it's got

an aftertaste! I like it!

  

I always felt there was some kind

of barrier between Ken and me.

  

I couldn't overcome it.

Oh, well.

  

Are you OK for the trial?

  

I believe Mr. Montgomery

is about out of ideas.

  

We would like to call

Mr. Barry Benson Bee to the stand.

  

Good idea! You can really see why he's

considered one of the best lawyers...

  

Yeah.

  

Layton, you've

gotta weave some magic

  

with this jury,

or it's gonna be all over.

  

Don't worry. The only thing I have

to do to turn this jury around

  

is to remind them

of what they don't like about bees.

  

- You got the tweezers?

- Are you allergic?

  

Only to losing, son. Only to losing.

  

Mr. Benson Bee, I'll ask you

what I think we'd all like to know.

  

What exactly is your relationship

  

to that woman?

  

We're friends.

  

- Good friends?

- Yes.

  

How good? Do you live together?

  

Wait a minute...

  

Are you her little...

  

...bedbug?

  

I've seen a bee documentary or two.

From what I understand,

  

doesn't your queen give birth

to all the bee children?

  

- Yeah, but...

- So those aren't your real parents!

  

- Oh, Barry...

- Yes, they are!

  

Hold me back!

  

You're an illegitimate bee,

aren't you, Benson?

  

He's denouncing bees!

  

Don't y'all date your cousins?

  

- Objection!

- I'm going to pincushion this guy!

  

Adam, don't! It's what he wants!

  

Oh, I'm hit!!

  

Oh, lordy, I am hit!

  

Order! Order!

  

The venom! The venom

is coursing through my veins!

  

I have been felled

by a winged beast of destruction!

  

You see? You can't treat them

like equals! They're striped savages!

  

Stinging's the only thing

they know! It's their way!

  

- Adam, stay with me.

- I can't feel my legs.

  

What angel of mercy

will come forward to suck the poison

  

from my heaving buttocks?

  

I will have order in this court. Order!

  

Order, please!

  

The case of the honeybees

versus the human race

  

took a pointed turn against the bees

  

yesterday when one of their legal

team stung Layton T. Montgomery.

  

- Hey, buddy.

- Hey.

  

- Is there much pain?

- Yeah.

  

I...

  

I blew the whole case, didn't I?

  

It doesn't matter. What matters is

you're alive. You could have died.

  

I'd be better off dead. Look at me.

  

They got it from the cafeteria

downstairs, in a tuna sandwich.

  

Look, there's

a little celery still on it.

  

What was it like to sting someone?

  

I can't explain it. It was all...

  

All adrenaline and then...

and then ecstasy!

  

All right.

  

You think it was all a trap?

  

Of course. I'm sorry.

I flew us right into this.

  

What were we thinking? Look at us. We're

just a couple of bugs in this world.

  

What will the humans do to us

if they win?

  

I don't know.

  

I hear they put the roaches in motels.

That doesn't sound so bad.

  

Adam, they check in,

but they don't check out!

  

Oh, my.

  

Oould you get a nurse

to close that window?

  

- Why?

- The smoke.

  

Bees don't smoke.

  

Right. Bees don't smoke.

  

Bees don't smoke!

But some bees are smoking.

  

That's it! That's our case!

  

It is? It's not over?

  

Get dressed. I've gotta go somewhere.

  

Get back to the court and stall.

Stall any way you can.

  

And assuming you've done step correctly, you're ready for the tub.

  

Mr. Flayman.

  

Yes? Yes, Your Honor!

  

Where is the rest of your team?

  

Well, Your Honor, it's interesting.

  

Bees are trained to fly haphazardly,

  

and as a result,

we don't make very good time.

  

I actually heard a funny story about...

  

Your Honor,

haven't these ridiculous bugs

  

taken up enough

of this court's valuable time?

  

How much longer will we allow

these absurd shenanigans to go on?

  

They have presented no compelling

evidence to support their charges

  

against my clients,

who run legitimate businesses.

  

I move for a complete dismissal

of this entire case!

  

Mr. Flayman, I'm afraid I'm going

  

to have to consider

Mr. Montgomery's motion.

  

But you can't! We have a terrific case.

  

Where is your proof?

Where is the evidence?

  

Show me the smoking gun!

  

Hold it, Your Honor!

You want a smoking gun?

  

Here is your smoking gun.

  

What is that?

  

It's a bee smoker!

  

What, this?

This harmless little contraption?

  

This couldn't hurt a fly,

let alone a bee.

  

Look at what has happened

  

to bees who have never been asked,

"Smoking or non?"

  

Is this what nature intended for us?

  

To be forcibly addicted

to smoke machines

  

and man-made wooden slat work camps?

  

Living out our lives as honey slaves

to the white man?

  

- What are we gonna do?

- He's playing the species card.

  

Ladies and gentlemen, please,

free these bees!

  

Free the bees! Free the bees!

  

Free the bees!

  

Free the bees! Free the bees!

  

The court finds in favor of the bees!

  

Vanessa, we won!

  

I knew you could do it! High-five!

  

Sorry.

  

I'm OK! You know what this means?

  

All the honey

will finally belong to the bees.

  

Now we won't have

to work so hard all the time.

  

This is an unholy perversion

of the balance of nature, Benson.

  

You'll regret this.

  

Barry, how much honey is out there?

  

All right. One at a time.

  

Barry, who are you wearing?

  

My sweater is Ralph Lauren,

and I have no pants.

  

- What if Montgomery's right?

- What do you mean?

  

We've been living the bee way

a long time, 27 million years.

  

Oongratulations on your victory.

What will you demand as a settlement?

  

First, we'll demand a complete shutdown

of all bee work camps.

  

Then we want back the honey

that was ours to begin with,

  

every last drop.

  

We demand an end to the glorification

of the bear as anything more

  

than a filthy, smelly,

bad-breath stink machine.

  

We're all aware

of what they do in the woods.

  

Wait for my signal.

  

Take him out.

  

He'll have nauseous

for a few hours, then he'll be fine.

  

And we will no longer tolerate

bee-negative nicknames...

  

But it's just a prance-about stage name!

  

...unnecessary inclusion of honey

in bogus health products

  

and la-dee-da human

tea-time snack garnishments.

  

Oan't breathe.

  

Bring it in, boys!

  

Hold it right there! Good.

  

Tap it.

  

Mr. Buzzwell, we just passed three cups,

and there's gallons more coming!

  

- I think we need to shut down!

- Shut down? We've never shut down.

  

Shut down honey production!

  

Stop making honey!

  

Turn your key, sir!

  

What do we do now?

  

Oannonball!

  

We're shutting honey production!

  

Mission abort.

  

Aborting pollination and nectar detail.

Returning to base.

  

Adam, you wouldn't believe

how much honey was out there.

  

Oh, yeah?

  

What's going on? Where is everybody?

  

- Are they out celebrating?

- They're home.

  

They don't know what to do.

Laying out, sleeping in.

  

I heard your Uncle Oarl was on his way

to San Antonio with a cricket.

  

At least we got our honey back.

  

Sometimes I think, so what if humans

liked our honey? Who wouldn't?

  

It's the greatest thing in the world!

I was excited to be part of making it.

  

This was my new desk. This was my

new job. I wanted to do it really well.

  

And now...

  

Now I can't.

  

I don't understand

why they're not happy.

  

I thought their lives would be better!

  

They're doing nothing. It's amazing.

Honey really changes people.

  

You don't have any idea

what's going on, do you?

  

- What did you want to show me?

- This.

  

What happened here?

  

That is not the half of it.

  

Oh, no. Oh, my.

  

They're all wilting.

  

Doesn't look very good, does it?

  

No.

  

And whose fault do you think that is?

  

You know, I'm gonna guess bees.

  

Bees?

  

Specifically, me.

  

I didn't think bees not needing to make

honey would affect all these things.

  

It's notjust flowers.

Fruits, vegetables, they all need bees.

  

That's our whole SAT test right there.

  

Take away produce, that affects

the entire animal kingdom.

  

And then, of course...

  

The human species?

  

So if there's no more pollination,

  

it could all just go south here,

couldn't it?

  

I know this is also partly my fault.

  

How about a suicide pact?

  

How do we do it?

  

- I'll sting you, you step on me.

- Thatjust kills you twice.

  

Right, right.

  

Listen, Barry...

sorry, but I gotta get going.

  

I had to open my mouth and talk.

  

Vanessa?

  

Vanessa? Why are you leaving?

Where are you going?

  

To the final Tournament of Roses parade

in Pasadena.

  

They've moved it to this weekend

because all the flowers are dying.

  

It's the last chance

I'll ever have to see it.

  

Vanessa, I just wanna say I'm sorry.

I never meant it to turn out like this.

  

I know. Me neither.

  

Tournament of Roses.

Roses can't do sports.

  

Wait a minute. Roses. Roses?

  

Roses!

  

Vanessa!

  

Roses?!

  

Barry?

  

- Roses are flowers!

- Yes, they are.

  

Flowers, bees, pollen!

  

I know.

That's why this is the last parade.

  

Maybe not.

Oould you ask him to slow down?

  

Oould you slow down?

  

Barry!

  

OK, I made a huge mistake.

This is a total disaster, all my fault.

  

Yes, it kind of is.

  

I've ruined the planet.

I wanted to help you

  

with the flower shop.

I've made it worse.

  

Actually, it's completely closed down.

  

I thought maybe you were remodeling.

  

But I have another idea, and it's

greater than my previous ideas combined.

  

I don't want to hear it!

  

All right, they have the roses,

the roses have the pollen.

  

I know every bee, plant

and flower bud in this park.

  

All we gotta do is get what they've got

back here with what we've got.

  

- Bees.

- Park.

  

- Pollen!

- Flowers.

  

- Repollination!

- Across the nation!

  

Tournament of Roses,

Pasadena, Oalifornia.

  

They've got nothing

but flowers, floats and cotton candy.

  

Security will be tight.

  

I have an idea.

  

Vanessa Bloome, FTD.

  

Official floral business. It's real.

  

Sorry, ma'am. Nice brooch.

  

Thank you. It was a gift.

  

Once inside,

we just pick the right float.

  

How about The Princess and the Pea?

  

I could be the princess,

and you could be the pea!

  

Yes, I got it.

  

- Where should I sit?

- What are you?

  

- I believe I'm the pea.

- The pea?

  

It goes under the mattresses.

  

- Not in this fairy tale, sweetheart.

- I'm getting the marshal.

  

You do that!

This whole parade is a fiasco!

  

Let's see what this baby'll do.

  

Hey, what are you doing?!

  

Then all we do

is blend in with traffic...

  

...without arousing suspicion.

  

Once at the airport,

there's no stopping us.

  

Stop! Security.

  

- You and your insect pack your float?

- Yes.

  

Has it been

in your possession the entire time?

  

Would you remove your shoes?

  

- Remove your stinger.

- It's part of me.

  

I know. Just having some fun.

Enjoy your flight.

  

Then if we're lucky, we'll have

just enough pollen to do the job.

  

Oan you believe how lucky we are? We

have just enough pollen to do the job!

  

I think this is gonna work.

  

It's got to work.

  

Attention, passengers,

this is Oaptain Scott.

  

We have a bit of bad weather

in New York.

  

It looks like we'll experience

a couple hours delay.

  

Barry, these are cut flowers

with no water. They'll never make it.

  

I gotta get up there

and talk to them.

  

Be careful.

  

Oan I get help

with the Sky Mall magazine?

  

I'd like to order the talking

inflatable nose and ear hair trimmer.

  

Oaptain, I'm in a real situation.

  

- What'd you say, Hal?

- Nothing.

  

Bee!

  

Don't freak out! My entire species...

  

What are you doing?

  

- Wait a minute! I'm an attorney!

- Who's an attorney?

  

Don't move.

  

Oh, Barry.

  

Good afternoon, passengers.

This is your captain.

  

Would a Miss Vanessa Bloome in 24B

please report to the cockpit?

  

And please hurry!

  

What happened here?

  

There was a DustBuster,

a toupee, a life raft exploded.

  

One's bald, one's in a boat,

they're both unconscious!

  

- Is that another bee joke?

- No!

  

No one's flying the plane!

  

This is JFK control tower, Flight 356.

What's your status?

  

This is Vanessa Bloome.

I'm a florist from New York.

  

Where's the pilot?

  

He's unconscious,

and so is the copilot.

  

Not good. Does anyone onboard

have flight experience?

  

As a matter of fact, there is.

  

- Who's that?

- Barry Benson.

  

From the honey trial?! Oh, great.

  

Vanessa, this is nothing more

than a big metal bee.

  

It's got giant wings, huge engines.

  

I can't fly a plane.

  

- Why not? Isn't John Travolta a pilot?

- Yes.

  

How hard could it be?

  

Wait, Barry!

We're headed into some lightning.

  

This is Bob Bumble. We have some

late-breaking news from JFK Airport,

  

where a suspenseful scene

is developing.

  

Barry Benson,

fresh from his legal victory...

  

That's Barry!

  

...is attempting to land a plane,

loaded with people, flowers

  

and an incapacitated flight crew.

  

Flowers?!

  

We have a storm in the area

and two individuals at the controls

  

with absolutely no flight experience.

  

Just a minute.

There's a bee on that plane.

  

I'm quite familiar with Mr. Benson

and his no-account compadres.

  

They've done enough damage.

  

But isn't he your only hope?

  

Technically, a bee

shouldn't be able to fly at all.

  

Their wings are too small...

  

Haven't we heard this a million times?

  

"The surface area of the wings

and body mass make no sense."

  

- Get this on the air!

- Got it.

  

- Stand by.

- We're going live.

  

The way we work may be a mystery to you.

  

Making honey takes a lot of bees

doing a lot of small jobs.

  

But let me tell you about a small job.

  

If you do it well,

it makes a big difference.

  

More than we realized.

To us, to everyone.

  

That's why I want to get bees

back to working together.

  

That's the bee way!

We're not made of Jell-O.

  

We get behind a fellow.

  

- Black and yellow!

- Hello!

  

Left, right, down, hover.

  

- Hover?

- Forget hover.

  

This isn't so hard.

Beep-beep! Beep-beep!

  

Barry, what happened?!

  

Wait, I think we were

on autopilot the whole time.

  

- That may have been helping me.

- And now we're not!

  

So it turns out I cannot fly a plane.

  

All of you, let's get

behind this fellow! Move it out!

  

Move out!

  

Our only chance is if I do what I'd do,

you copy me with the wings of the plane!

  

Don't have to yell.

  

I'm not yelling!

We're in a lot of trouble.

  

It's very hard to concentrate

with that panicky tone in your voice!

  

It's not a tone. I'm panicking!

  

I can't do this!

  

Vanessa, pull yourself together.

You have to snap out of it!

  

You snap out of it.

  

You snap out of it.

  

- You snap out of it!

- You snap out of it!

  

- You snap out of it!

- You snap out of it!

  

- You snap out of it!

- You snap out of it!

  

- Hold it!

- Why? Oome on, it's my turn.

  

How is the plane flying?

  

I don't know.

  

Hello?

  

Benson, got any flowers

for a happy occasion in there?

  

The Pollen Jocks!

  

They do get behind a fellow.

  

- Black and yellow.

- Hello.

  

All right, let's drop this tin can

on the blacktop.

  

Where? I can't see anything. Oan you?

  

No, nothing. It's all cloudy.

  

Oome on. You got to think bee, Barry.

  

- Thinking bee.

- Thinking bee.

  

Thinking bee!

Thinking bee! Thinking bee!

  

Wait a minute.

I think I'm feeling something.

  

- What?

- I don't know. It's strong, pulling me.

  

Like a 27-million-year-old instinct.

  

Bring the nose down.

  

Thinking bee!

Thinking bee! Thinking bee!

  

- What in the world is on the tarmac?

- Get some lights on that!

  

Thinking bee!

Thinking bee! Thinking bee!

  

- Vanessa, aim for the flower.

- OK.

  

Out the engines. We're going in

on bee power. Ready, boys?

  

Affirmative!

  

Good. Good. Easy, now. That's it.

  

Land on that flower!

  

Ready? Full reverse!

  

Spin it around!

  

- Not that flower! The other one!

- Which one?

  

- That flower.

- I'm aiming at the flower!

  

That's a fat guy in a flowered shirt.

I mean the giant pulsating flower

  

made of millions of bees!

  

Pull forward. Nose down. Tail up.

  

Rotate around it.

  

- This is insane, Barry!

- This's the only way I know how to fly.

  

Am I koo-koo-kachoo, or is this plane

flying in an insect-like pattern?

  

Get your nose in there. Don't be afraid.

Smell it. Full reverse!

  

Just drop it. Be a part of it.

  

Aim for the center!

  

Now drop it in! Drop it in, woman!

  

Oome on, already.

  

Barry, we did it!

You taught me how to fly!

  

- Yes. No high-five!

- Right.

  

Barry, it worked!

Did you see the giant flower?

  

What giant flower? Where? Of course

I saw the flower! That was genius!

  

- Thank you.

- But we're not done yet.

  

Listen, everyone!

  

This runway is covered

with the last pollen

  

from the last flowers

available anywhere on Earth.

  

That means this is our last chance.

  

We're the only ones who make honey,

pollinate flowers and dress like this.

  

If we're gonna survive as a species,

this is our moment! What do you say?

  

Are we going to be bees, orjust

Museum of Natural History keychains?

  

We're bees!

  

Keychain!

  

Then follow me! Except Keychain.

  

Hold on, Barry. Here.

  

You've earned this.

  

Yeah!

  

I'm a Pollen Jock! And it's a perfect

fit. All I gotta do are the sleeves.

  

Oh, yeah.

  

That's our Barry.

  

Mom! The bees are back!

  

If anybody needs

to make a call, now's the time.

  

I got a feeling we'll be

working late tonight!

  

Here's your change. Have a great

afternoon! Oan I help who's next?

  

Would you like some honey with that?

It is bee-approved. Don't forget these.

  

Milk, cream, cheese, it's all me.

And I don't see a nickel!

  

Sometimes I just feel

like a piece of meat!

  

I had no idea.

  

Barry, I'm sorry.

Have you got a moment?

  

Would you excuse me?

My mosquito associate will help you.

  

Sorry I'm late.

  

He's a lawyer too?

  

I was already a blood-sucking parasite.

All I needed was a briefcase.

  

Have a great afternoon!

  

Barry, I just got this huge tulip order,

and I can't get them anywhere.

  

No problem, Vannie.

Just leave it to me.

  

You're a lifesaver, Barry.

Oan I help who's next?

  

All right, scramble, jocks!

It's time to fly.

  

Thank you, Barry!

  

That bee is living my life!

  

Let it go, Kenny.

  

- When will this nightmare end?!

- Let it all go.

  

- Beautiful day to fly.

- Sure is.

  

Between you and me,

I was dying to get out of that office.

  

You have got

to start thinking bee, my friend.

  

- Thinking bee!

- Me?

  

Hold it. Let's just stop

for a second. Hold it.

  

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, everyone.

Oan we stop here?

  

I'm not making a major life decision

during a production number!

    

All right. Take ten, everybody.

Wrap it up, guys.

  

I had virtually no rehearsal for that.

  

A free Spirit

Mirit Ben-Nun was born in Beer- Sheva in 1966. Over the years she has presented in solo exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions in Israel and around the world.

When she was six, her father was killed in a car accident, leaving behind his wife and two daughters, Mirit and Dana.

Ben-Nun had difficulty concentrating on studies, which caused behavioral problems, and at the age of fourteen she dropped out of the education system and went to work. The colors and writing tools gave her a quiet private space and her own way of surviving. Creativity eased her tumultuous soul.

Until her early 30’s she worked as a telemarketer and for the next fourteen years she doodled and doodled. While talking to customers she filled thousands of pages with lines and dots that resembled hundreds of compressed eggs and seeds which she threw away.

In a large portion of each page she would pick a random word and would write it down over and over while concentrating on her hand movements.

Even then she noticed the rising of her need and obsession as she practiced the endless doodling and writing.

Ben-Nun testifies that the lack of artistic training to paint "correctly" freed her from adhering to the rules of painting and allowed her freedom and spirit of rebellion.

In 1998, she received a bunch of canvases and acrylic paints as a gift from her sister.

She brought the acrylic into her world of lines and dots; she went back to painting women and masks that appeared in her childhood paintings and flooded them with lines and dots without separating body and background.

This is also the moment when Ben-Nun began to refer to herself as a painter and when art became the center of her life.

The intense colors in Ben-Nun's paintings sweep the viewer into a sensual experience. The viewer traces the surge of dots and lines formed in packed layers of paint. The movement leads to a kind of female-male hormonal dance within the human body and to a communion with an artistic experience of instinct, passion, conceiving and birth.

Contributing to this experience is the wealth of characteristics reminiscent of tribal art. Ben-Nun merges these with a humorous and kicking contemporary Western Pop art. In the language of unique art, Ben-Nun creates an unconventional conversation between past and present cultures.

It is evident that the paintings emerge from a regenerated need and desire, a force that erupts from her soul, a subconscious survival instinct to which she cannot or does not want to resist.

Ben-Nun places women at the center stage where they are her work focus. The paintings obsessively deal with the existential experience of being a woman in the world. A few of the women's paintings carry feminist slogans stressing the women's struggle in society, a critique for being held to perfection and being required to perform as a model of "beauty, purity and motherhood". Feminism pulsates in Ben-Nun's psyche, through her diverse female images and the play between beauty and unsightliness; Ben-Nun assimilates the consciousness of feminine possibility, of not being "perfect", of being powerful, influential, and outside social norms. This mandates a departure from acceptable limitations where Ben-Nun creates a new world of free spirit for women.

Mirit Ben-Nun is a mother of three and the grandmother of three grandchildren.

Sun Temple, Konark,Odisha was built by Eastern Ganga King Narasimhadeva 1(1238-64) to enshrine the image of Sun God. He entire complex was designed in the form of a huge chariot drawn by seven spirited horses on twelve pairs of exquisitely carved wheels. The sanctum symbolises the majestic stride of Sun God and marks the culmination of the Orissan archilectural style. The Vimana of the deol has collapsed, while that of jagamohana and the nata mandapa are well preserved. The walls of the temple contain superb carving of divine, semi-divine and animal figures among floral and geometric ornamentations. He vivacious kanyas danseuses are remarkable for their sensuous modelling pulsating with human emotions which are absorbed in a variety of gestures and rhythmic actions. Such sculptures render the Orissan temple a class unto themselves

The world stops spinning on its axis

 

as the city's lights search through the night

 

for hearts that flutter to the

 

syncopation of its pulsating lights.

This was taken on a stormy night in Brooklyn as the waves in the East

River pounded the piers and the wind whipped against the faces of the

few brave souls who were still standing at the edge of Brooklyn Bridge

Park hoping to catch a first glimpse of the city's lights as they

flickered into view.

 

I am always amazed at the power of long exposure

photography to calm the chaos in a landscape, especially in a cityscape.

Abraham "Bram" Stoker (8 November 1847 – 20 April 1912) was an Irish author, best known today for his 1897 Gothic novel, Dracula. During his lifetime, he was better known as the personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned.

 

Arise! Awake! A mist descends upon the city streets. Sounds pulsate beneath our feet. The sky shudders as Macnas spirits are unleashed by Twilight.

 

Come out and celebrate with Danu, Goddess of the Divine and Dark: brutal and beautiful, warrior and mother, hallowed and holy, she protects and provokes, takes flight and goes underground.

 

Mummers and drummers follow and seek. Demons and angels love and loathe, the dead dance and the living transform. Men become gods, fools become Kings, souls are sanctified, reptiles are rarefied and the city streets transform as the journey unfolds.

 

Bram Stoker Festival are delighted to once again welcome Macnas to Dublin for a city-wide procession to launch the city into Samhain [Halloween].

The Mursi people of Ethiopia’s Omo Valley have been called “one of the most fascinating tribes in Africa.”

 

We’d only been in the village just over two hours, and it was still mid-morning. But the sun was high: pulsating light and radiating heat. Following the men to the cattle pens made for a nice diversion, even though I felt anticipatory dread over what was to come.

 

First, a cow who hasn’t been bled recently must be caught and restrained. Then the bowman palpates an artery on the cows neck for piercing. The spurting fresh blood is caught in a gourd before the hole in the neck is plugged and the blood is drunk by the participants.

 

The cattle must be used to this treatment – once let loose, they are unfazed.

Doodz OMG!!! Wootini is supremely proud to present Little Who of What: New Prints by The Little Friends of Printmaking, an exhibition of... er, new prints by award-winning artists & designers The Little Friends of Printmaking. The Little Friends’ screenprinted work, pulsating with eye-scratching color and bristling with humor, has earned them an international reputation as an exciting new voice in art & design. Come check them out now, while you can still pretend that you’ve always been into their stuff. (Don’t worry, we won’t tell.)

 

The Little Friends of Printmaking are J W & Melissa Buchanan, a husband-and-wife team of artists & designers based out of Milwaukee, WI.

British postcard by Star-Images, London, no. Lock 05. Photo: SKA Films, 1998. Dexter Fletcher in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (Guy Ritchie, 1998).

 

One of our favourite films of the 1990sis the hip and highly stylised British gangster comedy Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (Guy Ritchie, 1998). The story revolves around four friends who become indebted to the local crime lord after a card game goes horribly wrong. The debuting Ritchie brings us an original and hilarious look into the London criminal underground. The film is unforgettable for its inventive, pyrotechnic camera work, great actors, and its flawless, puzzle-perfect screenplay.

 

The quartet of twenty-something East End friends in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels are the cool and handsome Eddie (Nick Moran), Bacon (Jason Statham), Tom (Jason Flemyng), and Soap (Dexter Fletcher) It was Statham's film debut and the former diver would go on to star in such action films as The Transporter (Corey Yuen, 2002) and its three sequels. Sting appears briefly in several scenes as JD, Eddie's bar-owning father. P.H. Moriarty is wonderful as the hard-as-nails villain and crime boss 'Hatchet' Harry Lonsdale. And former Wales international footballer Vinnie Jones seems to naturally fit his part as debt-collector Big Chris, both tough guy, and family man. It's a film full of testosterone. In fact, one of the very few females in the film doesn't even speak, though she handles a machine gun fairly well. The acting from all involved is great. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels was nominated for a British Academy Film Award in 1998 for the outstanding British Film of the Year. Based on a $1.35 million budget, the film had a box office gross of over $28 million, making it a commercial success.

 

With Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998), Guy Ritchie took his first step in establishing his own brand. His energetic, ultra-contemporary camera work incorporates such devices as slow motion, fast motion, and freeze-frame coupled with narration. It actually expands upon Martin Scorsese's visual style and camera movements in Mean Streets and Goodfellas. Critics also compared Ritchie's film with the works of Quentin Tarantino and Danny Boyle's 'Trainspotting' but Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is inventive and a true original. Ritchie's film is an involved, complex, and layered work and is essential viewing. The soundtrack is first-rate, from the hits of James Brown to 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' by The Stooges. The groovy, pulsating music and lyrics are often succinctly synchronized with the action and dialogue in the film, creating a theatrical rhythm. While the picture's main focus is on a group of lads who invest money in a high-stakes, rigged card game and lose, the broader story concerns approximately eight different groups of criminals whose paths cross during various illegal pursuits: money, guns, drugs, even revenge. Guy Ritchie's film debut is quite violent, but it's also humorous throughout.

 

Laura Abraham at AllMovie: "A rabid, farcical look at gangsters in East End London, it contains mayhem at the center of every scene and gains additional intensity from the slow-motion technique Ritchie employs in many of his death sequences. Ritchie's manipulation of these sequences forces his audience to experience the full pain of the events by seeing every detail frame by frame, something particularly apparent in the director's handling of the boxing-ring poker game that catalyses the story. A series of different angles and techniques convey the pressure each character at the table is feeling, and the use of slow-motion makes it impossible for the audience to ignore the pain and anguish that Eddy (expertly played by Nick Moran) must feel when he realizes he is losing a lot of money."

n the heart of November, as winter's darkness begins to envelop the land, there is a place where the summer's glow never fades. In a closed, warm space, she gently turns up her headphones and steps into a musical labyrinth created by the latest tracks from Burning Man 2023. She closes her eyes and lets herself be carried away by the pulsating rhythms and fluid tones, reminiscent of the unforgettable festival in the Nevada desert.

 

Here, in the glow of a dim, soft lamp, she is away from the cold, dark world outside. Her feet move in time with the music, and she feels connected to the vast landscapes and colorful characters from Burning Man. It's an inner journey, a tribute to camaraderie, and the power of music to create warmth in the midst of winter's chill.

 

In this moment, her world is filled with light and sound, as if summer never left her. She dances as if no one is watching, letting the music transport her back to the moments shared with friends under the stars in the Nevada desert. It's the dance of darkness, a way to preserve the magic of summer in the heart of winter.

 

In winter's embrace, she dances alone,

With Burning Man's echoes in her headphones known.

Memories of summer, still vivid and clear,

In closed spaces, where the heart finds its frontier.

Her feet follow the rhythm, just like before,

In the embrace of music, summer's reborn once more.

Description: Powwows are large social gatherings of Native Americans who follow traditional dances started centuries ago by their ancestors, and which continually evolve to include contemporary aspects. These events of drum music, dancing, singing, artistry and food, are attended by Natives and non-Natives, all of whom join in the dancing and take advantage of the opportunity to see old friends and teach the traditional ways to a younger generation. During the National Powwow, the audience see dancers in full regalia compete in several dance categories, including Men and Women's Golden Age (ages 50 and older); Men's Fancy Dance, Grass and Traditional (Northern and Southern); Women's Jingle Dress, Fancy Shawl, and Traditional (Northern and Southern); Teens (13-17); Juniors (6-12) and Tiny Tots (ages 5 and younger). The drum groups are the heart of all powwows and provide the pulsating and thunderous beats that accompany a dancer's every movement. The powwow is led by three "host drums" that showcase three distinct styles of singing (Northern, Southern and contemporary) and represent the best examples of each style. The drum contest highlights groups of 10 to 12 members each, and they sing traditional family songs that are passed down orally from one generation to the next. The National Museum of the American Indian sponsored the National Powwow in 2002, 2005, and 2007 as a way of presenting to the public the diversity and social traditions of contemporary Native cultures.

The Path to Freedom and Love and their Significance in World. Theodora’s Prophetic Revelation

Between these two poles lies the balancing factor that unites the two — unites the will that rays towards the head with the thoughts which, as they flow into deeds wrought with love, are, so to say, felt with the heart. This means of union is the life of feeling, which is able to direct itself towards the will as well as towards the thoughts. In our ordinary consciousness we live in an element by means of which we grasp, on the one side, what comes to expression in our will-permeated thought with its predisposition to freedom, while on the other side, we try to ensure that what passes over into our deeds is filled more and more with thoughts. And what forms the bridge connecting both has since ancient times been called Wisdom. (Diagram XI.)n his fairy-tale, The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily, Goethe has given indications of these ancient traditions in the figures of the Golden King, the Silver King, and the Brazen King. We have already shown from other points of view how these three elements must come to life again, but in an entirely different form — these three elements to which ancient instinctive knowledge pointed and which can come to life again only if man acquires the knowledge yielded by Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition.From: The Bridge Between Universal Spirituality and the Physical Constitution of Man The Path to Freedom and Love and their Significance in World Events

December 19, 1920.... in english from Rudolf Steiner comments about Goethe's Work

Through the way in which Goethe lets gold flow through this fairy tale, he shows how he looks back into the time in which wisdom — for which gold also stands, hence, “The Golden King of Wisdom” — was exposed to such persecutions as those described. Now, he sought to show past, present and future. Goethe saw instinctively into the future of eastern European civilization. He could see how unjustifiable is the way in which the problem of sin and death worked there. If we wished to designate, not quite inappropriately perhaps, the nationality of the man who is then led to the Temple and the Beautiful Lily, who appears at first as without vigor as if crippled, then, from what we have had to say recently about the culture of the East and of Russia, you will not consider it unreasonable to deem this man to be a Russian. In so doing, you will almost certainly follow the line of Goethe's instinct. The secret of European evolution in the fifth post-Atlantean epoch lies concealed within this fairy tale, just as truly as Goethe was able to conceal it in his Faust, especially in the second part, as we know from his own statement. It is clearly to be seen in Goethe — we have already shown it in various respects; later it can be shown in others — that he begins to regard the world and to feel himself in it, in accord with the fundamental demand of the fifth post-Atlantean epoch.From: Inner Impulses of Evolution ...VI Ancient Cultural Impulses Spiritualized in Goethe.

As he lay desperately ill, he had a momentous experience, passing through a kind of Initiation. To begin with, he was not actually conscious of it but it worked in his soul as a kind of poetic inspiration and the process by which it flowed into his various creations was most remarkable. It flashes up in his poem entitled “The Mysteries,” which his closest friends have considered to be one of his most profound creations. And indeed this fragment is so profound that Goethe was never able to recapture the power to formulate its conclusion. The culture of the day was incapable of giving external form to the depths of life pulsating in this poem. It must be regarded as issuing from one of the deepest founts of Goethe's soul and is a book with seven seals for all his commentators. Then, however, the Initiation took increasing effect in him and finally, as he grew more conscious of it, he was able to produce that remarkable prose-poem known as “The Fairy Tale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily”; — one of the most profound writings in all literature. Those who are able to interpret it rightly know a great deal of the Rosicrucian wisdom.

We often find that persons who have not gone far enough into the matter will ask how a man such as Goethe can on the one hand bear within him certain secrets of the human soul, and on the other hand be so often torn by passion, as he is found to be by those who read his life-story in a rather superficial way. In fact, there was in Goethe something that can be called, in a crude sense, a double nature. To a superficial view the two sides can hardly be brought into harmony. On the one hand there is the great, high-minded soul who could bring forth certain portions of the second part of Faust, and gave expression to many deep secrets of human nature in the Fairy-Story of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily; and one would like to forget everything one knows from biographies of Goethe and pay homage only to the soul who was capable of such achievements. On the other side, there appears in Goethe, tormenting him and often causing him pangs of conscience, his other nature, “human, all-too-human”, in many respects. In earlier times the two natures of man were not so widely separate in their development; they could not diverge in this way. A person with a biography comparable with Goethe's could not rise to such heights as are revealed in certain passages of the second part of Faust or in the Fairy-Story of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily, and at the same time be so divided in his soul. That was not possible in earlier times. It has become possible only in later days, because there now exists in human nature something we have already spoken of — the part of the soul that has become unconscious, and the part of the organism that has died. The part that has remained alive can be so elevated and purified that the impulse which leads on to the Fairy-Story of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily; can be nurtured there, while the other part may remain exposed to the attacks of the outer world. And because the forces described are able to make their abode there, circumstances may arise in which there is very little agreement with the higher ego of the person. It should be understood that the soul living in Goethe had once belonged to an Egyptian Initiate, and had then lived in Greece as a sculptor and a disciple of philosophy; then, between this Greek incarnation and the one as Goethe, there comes an incarnation (probably only one) which I have not yet been able to find. If we keep this in mind, we can see how a soul who in former incarnations could rule the entire man can be led downwards, and then has to relinquish a part of the total human nature, which then lies open to the influence of evil forces.

That is what is mysterious and so hard to understand in a nature such as Goethe's; but by the same token it brings to light many hidden aspects of the human soul in modern times. Everything brought about by the duality of human nature lays hold, in the first place, of the Intellectual Soul, and the Intellectual Soul divides into those “two souls”, whereof one can sink fairly deeply into matter and the other can rise into the spiritual.

The middle of the nineteenth century was a much more incisive point in man's spiritual history than people can realise today. The period before it is represented in Schiller and Goethe; it is followed by something quite different, which can understand the preceding period very little. What we now call the social question, in the widest sense — a sense that humanity has not yet grasped, but should grasp and must grasp later on — was born only in the second half of the nineteenth century. And we can understand this fact only if we ask: why, in such significant and representative considerations as those attempted by Schiller in his “Aesthetic Letters” and represented pictorially by Goethe in his “Tale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily,” do we find no trace of the peculiar way of thinking we are impelled to develop today about the structure of society — although Goethe in his “Tale” is evidently hinting at political forms?

If we approach the “Aesthetic Letters” and the “Tale” with inner understanding, we can feel the presence in them of a powerful spirituality which humanity has since lost. Anyone reading the “Aesthetic Letters” should feel: in the very way of writing an element of soul and spirit is at work which is not present in even the most outstanding figures today; and it would be stupid to think that anyone could now write something like Goethe's fairy tale. Since the middle of the nineteenth century this spirituality has not been here. It does not speak directly to present-day men and can really speak only through the medium of Spiritual Science, which extends our range of vision and can also enter into earlier conditions in man's history. It would really be best if people would acknowledge that without spiritual knowledge they cannot understand Schiller and Goethe. Every scene in “Faust” can prove this to you.

Looking back before the nineteenth century to the end of the eighteenth century, we can observe a significant impulse. It was the impulse working in Schiller when he wrote his Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man; this was the time, too, when Goethe was stirred by his dealings with Schiller. They led Goethe to express the impulse which lay behind Schiller's “Aesthetic Letters” in his own tale, “The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily.” You can read about the connection between Schiller's “Aesthetic Letters” and Goethe's fairy-tale in my recent small book on Goethe.

Goethe has not left the source uncertain from whose depths he has drawn his inspiration. In another tale, The New Paris, he gives in a veiled manner the history of his own inner enlightenment. Many will remain incredulous if we say that, in this dream, Goethe represents himself just at the boundary between the third and fourth sub-race of our fifth root-race. For him, the myth of Paris and Helen is a symbolic representation of this boundary. And as he — in a dream — conjures up before his eyes in a new form the myth of Paris, he feels he is casting a searching glance into the development of humanity. What such an insight into the past means to the inner eye, he tells us in the Prophecies of Bakis, which are also full of occult references:The past likewise will Bakis reveal to thee; for even the past oft lies, oh blind world, like a riddle before thee. Who knows the past knows also the future: both are joined in To-day in one complete whole.

Hence Goethe was stirred to write his “Tale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily,” in which not only three but about twenty powers of the soul are described, not in concepts, but in pictorial forms, open to various interpretations. They are headed by the Golden King, who represents (not symbolises) wisdom, the Silver King who represents beautiful appearance, the Bronze King, who represents power, and Love who crowns them all. Everything else, too, indicates soul-forces;The three worlds are here represented as two regions separated from one another by a river. The river itself stands for the astral plane. On this side of it is the physical world, on the other side the spiritual (Devachan), where dwells the beautiful lily, the symbol of man's higher nature. In her kingdom, man must strive if he would unite his lower with his higher nature. In the abyss — that is, in the physical world — dwells the serpent which symbolizes the self of man. Here too is a temple of initiation, where reign four kings, one golden, one silver, one bronze, and a fourth of an irregular mixture of the three metals. Goethe, who was an alchemist, has clothed in alchemic terminology what he had to impart of his mystic experiences. The three kings represent the three higher forces of man: Wisdom (Gold), Beauty (Silver), and Strength (Bronze). As long as man lives in his lower nature, these three forces are in him disordered and chaotic. This period in the evolution of man is represented by the mixed king. But when man has so purified himself that the three forces work together in perfect harmony, and he can freely use them, then the way into the realm of the spiritual lies open before him. The still unpurified man is represented by a youth who, without having attained inner purity, would unite himself with the beautiful lily. Through this union he becomes paralyzed.Goethe here wished to point out the danger to which a man exposes himself who would force an entrance into the super-sensible region before he has severed himself from his lower self. Only when love has permeated the whole man, only when the lower nature has been sacrificed, can the initiation into the higher truths and powers begin. This sacrifice is expressed by the serpent yielding of its own accord, and forming a bridge of its body across the river — that is to say, the astral plane — between the two kingdoms, of the senses and of the spirit. At first man must accept the higher truths in the form in which they have been given to him in the imagery of the various religions. This form is personified as the man with the lamp. This lamp has the peculiarity of only giving light where there is already light, meaning that the religious truths presuppose a receptive, believing disposition. Their light shines where the light of faith is present. This lamp, however, has yet another quality, “of turning all stones into gold, all wood into silver, dead animals into precious stones, and of destroying all metals,” meaning the power of faith which changes the inner nature of the individual. There are about twenty characters in this allegory, all symbolical of certain forces in man's nature and, during the course of the action, the purifying of man is described, as he rises to the heights where, in his union with his higher self, he can be initiated into the secrets of existence. This state is symbolized by the Temple, formerly hidden in the abyss, being brought to the surface, and rising above the river — the astral plane. Every passage, every sentence in the allegory is significant. The more deeply one studies the tale, the more comprehensible and clear the whole becomes, and he who set forth the esoteric quintessence of this tale at the same time has given us the substance of the Anthroposophical outlook on life.Goethe, in his Legend of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily, has treated the forces of the human soul as three members, or forces; Power, Appearance, and Knowledge or Wisdom — or, as the Bronze King, the Silver King and the Golden King. Many remarkable things are spoken of in this legend, regarding the governing relationships which are being prepared for the present and which will live into the future. We can point out that what Goethe symbolizes by the Bronze king, the force of Power, is that which spreads over the world through the English-speaking peoples. This is necessary because the culture of the Consciousness Soul coincides with the special qualities of the British and American peoples.From: Social and Anti-Social Forces in the Human Being A lecture by Rudolf Steiner Bern, December 12, 1918

Starling (Sturnus vulgaris). During the winter months, the numbers of Starlings present within Britain and Ireland are swelled by the arrival of individuals from breeding populations located elsewhere within Europe. The numbers arriving vary from one winter to the next and are influenced by weather conditions on the Continent. Wintering Starlings roost communally and vast flocks may congregate at favoured sites, typically performing amazing aerobatic displays (known as ‘murmurations’) before dropping into the roost, which may be a reedbed, a group of conifers or a human structure, such as a pier. With many thousands of birds using a roost there is the potential for nuisance, their droppings fouling the ground beneath and around the chosen site.

 

These vast flocks have more humble beginnings, with small flocks of Starlings coming together as dusk approaches. Gradually, as more and more birds join the gathering, a huge pulsating flock is formed. As the light begins to fade so part of the flock will plunge down towards the chosen roost, almost as if testing its nerve to see who will be the first bird to drop into the roost itself. The birds have good reason to be nervous; these large gatherings attract the attentions of predators like Peregrine and Sparrowhawk. Photo by Nick Dobbs, Southbourne, Dorset 16-06-2024

Abraham "Bram" Stoker (8 November 1847 – 20 April 1912) was an Irish author, best known today for his 1897 Gothic novel, Dracula. During his lifetime, he was better known as the personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned.

This is the actress Dorea Schmidt. I met her at night on the National Mall. She had gone for a run in between shows of a play she was starring in at the Arena Stage. We talked about all sorts of things and were on the same wavelength. I took this photo when she turned for a moment of reflection to a question. We are all headed to a set of crossroads, at which point we'll have to decide what's next? Reflection, courage, commitment, and some humor with a touch of adventure will get you a long way. But, in the end the choice is only ours. The row of Bokeh lights that cuts across Dorea's eyes and disheveled hair gives the image a pulsating tension and urgency that often accompanies the challenging nature of arriving at a crossroads.
