We say “honey,” and we mean “bees.” We say “bees,” and we mean “honey.” You can’t choose one and forget the other.
Imagine a gnome who’s been terrified of insects since childhood. Especially the kind that fly, sting, and buzz. But here’s the catch: the only thing he eats is honey. Thankfully, his parents worked hard and left behind a large supply.
Everything was fine—until he licked the last jar clean. Now the sweet-toothed gnome faces a choice: terrifying fear or slow starvation.
Maybe his mind tries to bargain: roots aren’t that bad. But in the end, nature takes over, and the gnome goes to the bees with trembling hands.
And who knows—maybe once he gets to know them, he’ll stop panicking. He’ll start respecting their fierce will to protect what’s theirs. He’ll admire their ability to work all day long. Fear will be replaced by love.
Now switch the roles. The gnome is you. And instead of bees—it’s whatever annoys, repulses, or unsettles you the most. If you take a closer look at your “insects,” you might see how deeply they’re tied to what you love most.
And what if those bees have been chasing and stinging you all along only because you’ve been doing everything you can to stop them from pollinating the flower inside you?
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
