...and a drizzle of sweet succulence

honey from sicily literally tastes like pizza. the minute the glowing goo melted into my mouth i could taste the fresh dough and spicy aromas...clever no?

have you ever tasted a honey that so well resembled that still-warm-frosted-gingerbread cake taste that pools at the base of your tongue swirling the syrupy goodness until your entire mouth succumbs in perfect bliss??
then there's the absolute beautiful sensation of dipping your spoon into the deep bouquet of creamy, mellisonant, swedish honey. i can hardly keep my nose out of the jar before our friend, 'pooh' reminds me of his no double-dipping policy.

selling honey is much more than a business. i learned that it is just as much of apart of every day life for those involved as exercise or laughterer or work. in spending the morning with a friend, i tasted at least 60 different species, colors, and flavors of honey from all around the world ,getting the biggest and most delicious sugar rush i've ever had. eucalyptus-orangeblossom-sulla-manuka-clover-acacia-avocado-heather-blackberry-all raw, all organic, all sensational.

the secret life of bees, their patterns and their capacities for self-preservation is an incredibly mind-blowing, amazingly precise and beautiful science. i am in awe of god's brilliance and creativity as i explore this new micro-universe. honey heals wounds and ailments, helps allergies and boosts immunity, regulates digestion and is the perfect source of energy for the body. the same bees will continue to make honey in the same place with the same flowers for as long as is possible with the queen of the hive. they too are tenacious little balls of energy...

maybe honey is the key to our longevity, our ability to 'be limitless'... maybe mary poppins wasn't too far off when she recommended a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. she probably meant a nice dollup of dark, woodsy Zambezi honey but realized it wouldn't fit as well in the song....

for now, i'm going to keep honey as a part of my well-balanced lifestyle until something better comes around the corner :)
