REFLECTIONS ON A COLLINS PAINTING

Little bee, you are so small yet, too, so mighty a force in nature's scheme. You are drawn through all times to that elegance that is the flower's beauty. I am reminded of a scene limned on sacred Sistene's ceiling that teases by its gap a connection to the Almighty.

In such small spaces great power presents and creates awe that defies complacency. Have we the grace to perceive what is so evident if we but look?
