The Message of Hummingbird...

The hummingbird is such a beautiful little flying flower that the message they bring is one of pure joy.  Just think what it would be like if our life consisted of being a most accomplished flyer, showing off our beauty and tasting sweetness all the time.   A lot of humans try for that don't they.  Hovering, flying backwards, performing amazing aerial stunts, and seeking sweet nectar for food and nourishment, that is the life of a hummingbird.   A very wise young man recently remarked how difficult it is to 'remember to be happy'.  If a hummingbird has crossed your path lately think a little about the joy in your life and think about how you can make it a little more joyful for yourself and someone else.  Often that is when we feel the most joy when we are making someone else happy. 
And let the beautiful little hummingbird remind you to remember to be happy.  Choosing happiness and joy is easy and simple.  We simply have to remember to do so.

This morning a hummingbird came to the fuchsia plant hanging on my balcony and methodically took a drink from every flower on the plant.   Those little guys are such a joy.  I have, perhaps, adopted the totem meanings for myself but it feels good to see them and who knows, maybe they are bringing me a message of joy. 
http://www.hummingbirdworld.com/h/totem.htm  has a nice summary of the different thought on the totem meaning of hummingbirds.   This is a very small part of what the site has to say; “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.... Some of us are just hummingbird people.”
I think that part that says 'hover at the beautiful moments in our lives, making them freeze in time' is what my photography is all about...
