All around us is the cosmic game, the cosmic play. The universe is full of joy, inner and outer. When realisation takes place, we have to feel the necessity of manifesting this constant delight in our heart. The delight glows, but does not burn. It has tremendous intensity, but it is all softness and absolutely sweet-flowing nectar.

Indian Philosopher

Laura Amy Schlitz

People tend to associate fairies with princesses, but they couldn't be more different. Princesses have dynastic and domestic pressures, and they get parked on glass hills. Fairies don't have families. They don't clean or cook. They sip nectar from flowers and dance by the light of the moon.

Nectar is part of a natural cycle, crucial for the production of honey by bees.

Nature's Process

Nectar as a divine drink is specific to ancient stories, not used in modern religion.

Mythological Drink

Nectar symbolizes something pure and sacred, often regarded as a perfect offering.

Symbol of Purity

Used metaphorically, 'nectar' expresses enjoyment or satisfying sensory experiences.

Figurative Language

It's often used to describe things that are extremely pleasant or desirable.

Positive Connotation

Nectar in figurative speech appeals to the senses, not just taste or sound.

Sensory Appeal

 and they have to keep it still to be able to get that really thin beak into really thin flowers, to be able to find that nectar that they're really living life in the fast lane. The fact their heart has to go a thousand beats a minute just to pump that blood around so they can fly so efficiently. But it is thirsty work, they have to drink every ten minutes or so.
