Let me first assure you that this is a blog about human, not bee occupation. There are a few reasons bees resonated with my post-university ponderings on OT, some more tenuous than others...
This is the main
one: I love watching and listening to the bees in my garden. They visit lots of
different types of flowers and rattle out backwards, covered in pollen. They
take all the different pollen and synthesise it into something with its own
unique flavour. Yes, there are different types of honey, but they all taste of,
well... honey. OTs also take what they need from such diverse fields as medical
science, psychology and education, and synthesise it into something unique. In
this blog I also want to take a bumblebee approach and draw on diverse fields
and topics to find nuggets of nectar to share.
Bees are also a
symbol of the interdependence of the ecosystem, a tiny creature that if
removed, the whole system fails. I’ve found that OT training has continually
encouraged me to take a holistic perspective, and always emphasised the interdependence
between our environments, who we are and what we do.
but mainly it's a great rhyme.
