Each bee was separate, but part of a whole. Theretheir work. Serendipty. A lovely, natural lesson. It in-spired me to try and express my feelings in a haiku:Bumblebees bee-ing,Gathering, pollinating,Ah, new flowering This haiku is dedicated in loving memory to my friendAlice Kawamura who loved flowers.N. S. (Chicago)Dharma Glimpseblast was a big ball of yellow fire. There was no noiseat first because of the distance; then a deep rumblingbehind the rising shuttle was a dramatic testimony tothe awesome power of the rocket boosters. Up, up, upthe shuttle climbed. After about two minutes, those ofers fall away. The shuttle was now a tiny silver speckhigh in the sky. We boarded our bus and as we pulled away, the busdriver said, “Traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, theshuttle right now is passing over Paris.” As we rodeback to the Visitor Complex, I thought about how itwas possible to be awed by natural wonders, like theGrand Canyon or the Niagara Falls, but also by greattechnological/engineering feats like blasting off intoearlier about having a wider perspective about things,about appreciating and carrying on the legacy of myDharma work, and about “launching” a new phase ofmy own spiritual life. I thought how appropriate it wasthat the shuttle launch took place on April 8th, SiddarthaGautama’s birthday. Upon returning home from the vacation, I have manyprecious memories. I wrote the above description of“Viewing a Shuttle Launch” to share this particular ex-my wish is for you to be similarly influenced as I was,and use this shuttle launching as a motivational meta-in your life. Rededicate yourself to clarifying your spiri-tual path. Blast off! Soar up and beyond!American Buddhist ServicesThe Heartland Sangha holds 11 A.M.

In walking from the bus to the Heartland Sangha service
at the Lake Street Church, I stopped in wonder to watch
about two dozen bumblebees flying from blossom to blos-
was no pushing or shoving, no “I saw that blossom first.”
There was just a harmonious flowing, as they went about
was heard and felt. The white wake of smoke billowing
us with binoculars could see the two white rocket boost-
space. I consolidated in my mind the three vows I made
perience with others. Dear Oneness newsletter readers,
phor to inspire some kind of “launching” of a new phase
