One July morning, I saw a bee going into a flower and knew everything was all right with the world.<\/p>\n
It was a few days before the Fourth of July, and\u00a0 I was up early to water my tomato plants before work. Barefoot and wearing a t-shirt and shorts, I made my rounds with my watering can to a patch of tomatoes I planted behind the garage. Even though\u00a0 it was turning out to be a beautiful day, I was already preoccupied with the worries of work.<\/p>\n
That is, until I saw a bee flying into a hosta blossom. The virtual world had made me forget bees pollinate flowers.\u00a0 I was grateful that while I might have forgotten,\u00a0 the bees were on the job taking care of business.<\/p>\n
And that’s when I knew everything was indeed all right with the world.<\/p>\n
Just for that instant.<\/p>\n
