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.

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.
