Finished Simon Buxton's "The Shamanic Way of the Bee" last night. I cried myself to sleep. Dreamed all night restlessly and intermittently about the Bee Master collecting honey from the blessed hives. Exhausted and weepy today.
Edited to add: One of the things that kept awakening me was a piercing, stabbing, fixed pain on the inner aspect of my right thigh. This pain is not new to me (been happening for a year maybe) but it is very occasional -- months between occurrences-- and always at night. When it woke me last night I wondered if it is what a bee sting feels like. The pain always comes and goes within an hour or so and never leaves soreness -- but it is pretty excruciating when it is happening.
