Bob,
I am encouraged to hear of your autistic helper and the lessons learned.
I was out of the country (visiting with my daughter working the bees in
Paraguay-Peace Corp) and one of the main things I noticed when reentering
the US was our fast hyper-intense pace of life. been in it so long just
thought it was the only way.
When I was preparing to leave for America, I recieved the only standing
ovation for a T-shirt I have ever had in a Chinese Restaraunt down there.
These guys just walked up behind me and started applauding.I was dumbstruck.
The Tshirt I was wearing reads (translated):
Only when the last river has been dried up
The last tree been cut down
the last fish caught
Will man realize you cant eat money.
As Gandhi said:
There is more to life than increasing its speed.
Or as my Lord said:
Consider the birds of the air, they neither plant or harvest,build
storehouses or barns,but your heavenly Father feeds them, are you not more
valuable than the birds.
John Horton
PS Thanks for the advice from many about working with the africanizd bees.
As it turned out, they were very very mild.
My daughter has caught a dozen or so swarms down there, and she has
thankfully never encountered any really nasty ones.
