“Please try to understand. You can watch the bees in order to learn this. They look for and find the flowers with nectars and pollens. They also take nectars from plants at joints, which most humans are not aware of. The simple lesson here is difficult to master, but exceptionally valuable. It is, essentially, this: follow the paths to the flowers that produce good nectars and pollens. Also, find the unexpected benefits of nectars others are unaware of. Simply: follow the nectar and pollen path. The bees do not go to the flowers that have no nectar, nor are they concerned about ‘what is missing’. The reason is simple: there are ample paths with plenty of nectars and pollens. These are the routes they sense. These are the routes they follow. Follow the paths that offer actually existing nectars and pollens. Do not concern yourselves about where nectars or pollens are missing. These are not routes, they are shadows. Learn to discover where the nectars and pollens actually are, and are available. Explore and relate with these routes, which will change day to day and hour to hour. Do not concern yourselves with where they are missing or there is too little nectar or pollen to collect. It is this simple, and yet, we must actually pursue this in our daily lives and relationships, also with our minds and emotions, also with our bodies and spirits. You cannot be fed or healed by paths without pollen, there is no real need to attend the paths that are missing the benefits that are the purpose for traveling on a route. Leave those routes alone, just as the bees do.” — an anonymous informant via Darin Stevenson

From amazing Nectarian Artist Daniel Mirante, an inspiration to me for the title of my album Nectarian: "'Nectarian’ describes a ecologically orientated current within visionary or spirit art, it describes the work of the birds and bees as they sip nectar and distill honey from the flowering plants of primordial Gaia. It describes the rich symbiosis of life, that everything that exists, lives. And all that lives is One. The hummingbird is the quintessential symbol of the Nectarian form of art. In Brazil the hummingbird is called the ‘beija-flor’ – kisser-of-flowers. This beautiful poetic term describes the deep sensuality of the interdependence and co-origination of Nature. Nature encompasses all that can be sensed, known and thought. Our minds are Nature. The bee and the flower dreamed each other into being. Nature is everything, the Kali-like wrath and the deep sweetness. The Nectarian vision encompasses all, and displays an all-encompassing fertility circuit in which beings can intimately couple with the cosmic and Gaian processes in non-dual ways. Such art reminds us that this kind of relationship with the natural world is possible, it preserves and enshires this knowledge in cultural memory against the current odds. Nature is symbol and by honoring the meaning of those appearances and by observing her flows we come into awareness of the cycles and patterns that govern our inner lives. Observance of nature is the progenitor of metaphor, and metaphor is the foundation of poetry, myth, shamanry and visual art. 'Nectarian art' can serve a vital role in calibrating our compasses back to the Sun and Moon, to the elements, to the great oceans and forests, to thunder beings, to the ancient shining stars, to all in this mysterious, dazzling and profound creation,"
