Every May the hummingbirds return to our area, and every May our feeder is out to greet them. Because of these busy, tiny birds, it is a joyful time of year.
The males come back first, setting up territories that they vigorously defend.
Our feeder can be seen from our kitchen sink, and when we are cooking or doing dishes there is endless entertainment just outside our window.
It is said that hummingbirds open the heart.
When we connect with hummingbirds, we delight in the sheer joy of living.
Life is a wonderland of sensuous delights, and we exist in its beauty, delighting in spring flowers, aromas, early sunrises, and the taste of fresh wholesome foods.
Hummingbirds remind us to laugh and enjoy creation, to appreciate the magic of being alive and the beauty of nature all around us.
Sure the world can be a messed up place, but that should not blind us to the infinite beauty around us at all times.
This is the vision, and gift, of heart-opening Hummingbirds.
