Such an unexpected delight…a hummingbird resting briefly on a branch.
As I watched the little bird flit from flower to flower, I marveled at his quick but graceful movements. Up, down, backwards, forwards, and sideways. I’ve read that hummingbirds are the only birds who can fly in all directions…amazing.
As I studied him, I had a thought. Sometimes it feels like life is moving at the speed of a hummingbird. Unforeseen things happen all the time, and opportunities come from all directions.
A chance for forgiveness might come from behind me, from my past, while an opportunity for partnership comes from beside me.
Perhaps there's a message from this lovely bird...a reminder that life’s greatest opportunities may appear unexpectedly and from any direction.
I appreciate the reminder to pay attention. And to be more like the hummingbird, flowing easily and gracefully with all that life offers.
Something to ponder…inspired by a beautiful bird.
