Centration is the coming together in one life of the entire evolutionary development. Evolutionary Cosmologist Brian Swimme writes that “the cosmological Powers of the Universe are coursing through us moment by moment. To become aware of these powers is to touch the Source of Life.” -The Powers of The Universe
 A Bee Prayer Winged spirit of sweetness, I call on you. Teach me the ways of transformation and fertilization, The path from pollen to sweetest honey. Teach me to taste the essence of each place I alight, Carrying that essence with me to continue creation’s cycle. Teach me the ways of hope, reminding me the ways of hope, Reminding me that what seems impossible may yet be achieved. Flitting tears of the gods, draw me ever closer to the wisdom hidden within beauty. Give me flight and sunlight, passion and productivity, Cooperation with those around me, and sharpened strength to defend my home. May I ever spiral out from my heart, searching for what I need, And return there once again to turn those lessons into nourishment. Bee spirit, I call to you. (borrowed from A Book of Shadows) Stay Buzzing, Nick Polizzi Founder, The Sacred Science  Ellen Litwiller and Chelsea Steinauer-Scudder
The western honey bee, Apis mellifera, has been a companion to human beings for thousands of years. As we’ve long welcomed the nourishment of honey and have come to rely on this insect for pollination, we’ve learned ways that we might nourish the honey bee in return—by providing abundant habitat and tending to hives. More Note: In the Powers of the Universe, cosmologist Brian Swimme provides a synthesis of scientific and spiritual worldviews, empowering people to rediscover and remember who they truly are in the greater story of life, and situate the larger challenges of our day as part of the journey of the Universe. This view leads to a positive, life-affirming vision of human potential, one that calls for a new level of ecological responsibility, wisdom, and relatedness. In the process, Swimme demonstrates how science and spiritual traditions can find common ground in a worldview that is evolutionary, scientific, and filled with reverence and wonder.

In this book, Thomas Berry makes a persuasive case for an inter-religious dialogue that can better confront the environmental problems of the twenty-first century. More
"The universe, by definition, is a single gorgeous celebratory event. - Thomas Berry, “Returning to Our Native Place,” in The Dream of the Earth   “Evolution means that nature does not operate according to fixed laws but by the dynamic interplay of law, chance, and deep time; that is, one cannot understand natural processes apart from developmental categories. The interaction of forces creates a dynamic process of unfolding life, pointing to the fact that nature is incomplete; there are no fixed essences. Instead, nature is consistently oriented toward new and complex life.”
