I can see clearly now

I posted this image in September 2007 shortly after joining RB. It’s now been cropped and I’ve played with simple editing to improve the presentation.
A bee resting on the double glazed window of my York home, reflected and reflected and…
The camera was against the glass about 2 inches away from the insect.

This sky where we live
Is no place to lose your wings.
So love, love, love.
Hafiz حافظ

Human beings are members of a whole,
In creation of one essence and soul.
If one member is afflicted with pain,
Other members uneasy will remain.
If you have no sympathy for human pain,
The name of human you cannot retain.
Saadi

“Of one Essence is the human race,
thus has Creation put the base;
One Limb impacted is sufficient
For all Others to feel the Mace ”
—Saadi (1184–1283)
