in answer to pfirsichs note:
why the hummingbird?

it is a totem of joy.


It's a joy that will take you over. When we assume hummingbird consciousness, our life becomes a wonderland of sensuous delights. We live for beauty, delighting in flowers, aromas, fine mist, and delicate tastes. When it becomes our totem, the hummingbird teaches us to laugh and enjoy the creation, to appreciate the magic of being alive, and the truth of beauty.

the hummingbird is a symbol of resurrection , new life....because each hummer becomes lifeless and seems to die on cold nights, but it comes back to life again when the miraculous sunrise brings warmth. It's the only bird that can fly backwards. a reminder that the past can't be changed but can teach lessons. hummingbird comes when it seems that what needs to be done is impossible. It teaches us how to find joy in any circumstances.

There is something inside the soul of all of us that wants to soar through sunbeams, then dance midair in a delicate mist, then take a simple bath on a leaf. There is something in our souls that wants to hover at beautiful moments in our lives, making them freeze in time. There is something in us that wants to fly backwards and savor once more the beautiful past.

the hummingbird is the creature that opens the heart
