“This morning, with her, having coffee.”

Maisy says: It feels good to put your feet up after a long day and a quality meal.
You deserve it.
“I think actually one of the things that’s a comfort in marriage is that there isn’t a door at seven years, and so if something is messed up, in the short term, there’s a comfort of knowing, ‘well we made this commitment, so we’re just going to work this out. And even if tonight we’re not getting along, or there’s something between us that doesn’t feel right, you have the comfort of knowing, we’ve got time, we’re going to figure this out.’ And that makes it so much easier. Because you do go through times where you hate each other’s guts, and the no escape clause, weirdly, is a bigger comfort to being married than I ever would have thought before I got married.”

The Honeybee Manifesto
The Honeybee Manifesto
- Take only what you need
- Beautiful things take dirty work
- There is order in disorder
- There are dances (and art) in the day-to-day
- You can survive on work and flowers alone
- Help others
- Hurting others only hurts yourself
- Likewise hurting yourself only hurts others
- And of course productivity is the key to happiness - and staying alive
I’ve never connected with something so much as this.
If we could all live more like the honeybee…what beautiful lessons to be found in nature.
“I brake for birds. I rock a LOT of polka dots. I have touched glitter in the last twenty four hours. I spend my entire day talking to children. And I find it fundamentally strange that you’re not a dessert person - that’s just weird and it freaks me out. And I’m sorry that I don’t talk like Murphy Brown and I hate your pant suit and I wish it had ribbons on it or something to make it just slightly cuter. And that doesn’t mean I’m not smart, and tough, and strong.”
