Whatever happens in the world on the political stage, life continues in its smallness and its safety. Today, I watched the news as usual, and decided to count bumblebees, as I do for the Bumblebee Conservation Society. I care deeply about world peace but my way of preserving sanity is wrapped up in performing tasks such as counting the declining bee population on a local site. However we care or take note of the wider issues, if we continue to live and work and study, perhaps, just may be we will come through this international turmoil to find we have much more in common than differences that keep us apart.
