I Am Drinking The Sun

 I am drinking the sun...

I keep looking at the raw honey jar on my counter, I'm so excited to eat some...

We just got it shipped from our writing friend Jen in Georgia...

I keep thinking it's almost like traveling...

I wonder when I taste it...

If I'll taste the fragrance of Georgia flowers...

If I'll smell Georgia rain...

If I'll feel the souls of the bees who made it...

If I'll feel the humid Georgia air or the light breeze that moves the pollen...

I can almost feel the giddiness of Jen, see the sprinkle of her smile as she had her first harvest...

Feel the love she's put into these bees, and the love they made into honey...

She's transforming her sorrow into sweet honey...

Maybe raw Georgia honey is what raw love tastes like.
