A poem written by the sister of Martin Harker, our bee man, that captures the wonder of working and interacting with the natural world.  May it bring a smile, deep nourishment and a sense of hope that springs from this beautiful world we live in.

How many trees have you planted

How many seeds have you sown

How many lives have you touched

How many minds have you grown

How many ideas have you sown

In how many hearts and minds

How many minds have you blown

With a kiss of your butterfly’s wings

How many flowers have you grown

How many butterflies fed

How many of your bees have flown

How many birds have you fed

How many ideas have you launched

To fly like seeds in thermals fair

We can only guess how many take root

And how many still dance in the air

By Gillian Vergine in loving memory of Gary Vergine
