Greetings!
"Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love, joy and celebration. Hummingbirds open our eyes to the wonder of the world and inspire us to open our hearts to loved ones and friends. Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and to savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate the joy of everyday.
The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere , every personal connection has meaning, and that laughter is life's sweetest creation." Papyrus. A hummingbird's wings move back and forth rather than up and down like other birds. Their wings become almost invisible as they move at about 80 times per second. The hummingbird is the only bird that can fly backwards and can hover in mid-air.

 The Parable of the Hummingbird "The forest was aflame, and whilst all the animals were fleeing to save their skins, the hummingbird stayed back to carry water from the river in its beak, to throw onto the flames. 'Do you really imagine that you're going to put out the flames with the water you can carry in your beak?' the lion asked him. 'I know that I can't do it all alone, " replied the bird, 'But at least I'm doing my bit." |
"One day a hummingbird flew in..It fluttered against the window til I got it down where I could reach it with an open umbrella..
When I had it in my hand it was so small I couldn't believe I had it..but I could feel the intense life..so intense and so tiny..
...You were like the hummingbird to me..And I am rather inclined to feel that you and I know the best part of one another without spending much time together...
...It is not that I fear the knowing..
It is that I am at this moment willing to let you be what you are to me..it is beautiful and pure and very intensely alive.""
