Gift 4 Nature Precession
![[image]](/images/BeePollen.jpg)
Precession results from a force on a spinning body: the spin axis moves unintuitively at right angles to the direction of the force.
Emérgéntly uses the term Precession as a metaphor for side effects, like a honey bee aiming for nectar, bumps into pollen (at right angles to the bee's intended path) and consequently pollinates flowers. When Precession is unexpectedly positive, we call it serendipity, when negative it is often called unintended consequences. However, we are responsible for Precession whether intended or not. The good news is, we have observed that when we are in tune with Nature, serendipity happens! And like in the case of pollination, the side effect can be much more meaningful than the initial intent!

Serendipity
Our Gift 4 Nature* project was aimed at youth, including the daughter of our dear German friends. We celebrated with and were cared for by EQ Dynamics, Irena, Sabine and Markus who were celebrating their 20th business anniversary. Our gift to them was a GIFT 4 NATURE donation. Serendipitously...lovely things happened. Sabine wrote:
We were so touched and inspired by this gift that we decided to continue it in the sense of "make three from one", after all there are three of us! We find Jon & Yoshi's approach of not only balancing something, but possibly creating side effects and in this way possibly doing much more, highly worthy of emulation.
So if you want to know what became of their gift and feel like continuing or imitating it, here are our chosen initiatives:
- Nothing works without bees! Provide them with habitat:
https://www.greenforestfund.de/bienenspende/ - Did you know that whales are ingenious climate protectors? Become a sponsor:
https://de.whales.org/spender-und-helfen/patenschaft/delfin/ - If you protect the forest, you secure our future:
https://www.geschenkbaum.de/products/waldschuetzer
We are so grateful for the solidarity, the awareness, all the impulses and gifts that we have been given on the occasion of this anniversary. And we felt the need to share this with all of you. To many more years together!
And of course Sabine considered the Earth, Air, Water, Fire perspectives of helping bees:

And Irena donated to Whales
And Also...
Sabine explained that consequently, a colleague gave a gift tree and he supports the organisation himself from now on. Isn’t that a precessional gem? We were so pleased.
