TO BEE OR NOT TO BEE: A SPIRITUAL FABLE OF THE JOURNEY FROM I TO WE

Book ID/图书代码： 14937607B11862

English Summary/英文概要： To Bee or Not to Bee is the story -- clever and spiritually sophisticated -- of a worker bee who finds fulfillment amidst the mindless tedium of life in a honeybee colony. Imagine that stifling existence -- build the hive, forage, feed the larvae, store honey and pollen, sleep. Repeat. Throw in some curiosity and spiritual yearning and you get this clever and heartful inspirational allegory. Magically illustrated by award-winning artist, Laurie Barrows, To Bee or Not to Bee is the story of Buzz Bee’s search for God. What he ends up finding is himself. Hmmm. Peppered with aphorisms and laced with wit and humor, To Bee or Not to Bee teaches that the only way out is in, that the greatest present is the present, and that life is a journey from I to we. No matter what your spiritual path, this touching tale will leave a smile on your face and a glow in your heart.

John Penberthy was born with an insatiable curiosity which has made him an ardent student of Life and Spirit. His first conscious memory is that of beeing stung by a bee at age one! He grew up in south Florida, earned an MBA and spent 12 years consulting for proposed banks and commercial real estate developments throughout the Rocky Mountain region. Subsequently, John coordinated a vitamin A fortification (blindness prevention) project for Helen Keller International in Indonesia and later managed the 70,000 acre Cache River Bioreserve for The Nature Conservancy in southern Illinois. His striving to see the Divine in all things led him to write To Bee or Not to Bee, which came to him in a meditation. John lives in Boulder, Colorado with his wife and daughter.
