Nothing Is Inconsequential
15. Nothing Is Inconsequential
I've been watching the flowering crabapple tree out my window and I worry
that I don't see any bees busily flying from blossom to blossom. I would
sorely miss the delicious applesauce made from the annual harvest of crabapples
if this year the blossoms have not been pollinated. I shudder when I hear
that hives of bees have to be brought to some orchards when they are in bloom.
Barbara Brown Taylor writes in The Luminous Web that "we belong
to a web in which nothing is inconsequential." The condition of the whole
is determined by the health and interrelation of all parts.
