This morning I walked down the street and was surprised to find a new bar less than a block away. Bees of all sizes were getting drunk on the sweet nectar of wisteria's purple clusters.
If we got intoxicated or high on Nature or just savored sweet Earth as the bees at the bar are, might our addiction rates decrease? Would painkillers, anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications sell like they do if people got outside and felt the grass under their feet, heard the birds sing, saw the sun set and the stars rise?
All of Earth is a bar, especially this time of year, from which to fill, feel and drink.
