What We Pass On

The other day, I was reading my kids Flower Talk (Levine and D’yans), a children’s book about the purpose of plant colors.

Did you know that as bees consume pollen, some gets stuck on their bodies? This pollen then drops onto other flowers as the bees fly by.

We are not so different though, are we?

Directly or indirectly, we pass onto others what we consume ourselves: bad habits and good ones, what we say as well as our manner of speech, the products we find useful, stories we love, and news we care about.

What we treasure, we feed others with.
