I wanted to share a magical moment- one of simple pleasure, it cost
nothing, and I want to pass it on. We have such busy, hectic, frantic
lives, with gloom overhead in the economy, wars, and famine, ...we
need to find peace DAILY in the small things to have the strength to
go on.
++++++++++++++++
This morning I decided to sit at the kitchen table with my coffee, in
the "guest" seat, and look out the East window to the in-bloom
butterfly bush-- deep purple, sweet smelling flower cones bob gently
in a breeze.
I am rewarded with the local hummingbirds who come to seek nectar
from the flowers.. they burn so much energy, and are the fiercest
fighters in the bird kingdom. they will fight ANY other hummer who
comes into their known territory.. they will awake early and fly
around the outside of their territiry, and drink ALL the flowers of
their nectar..so any trespassers get nothing, and fly away, They
then continue inward.. and eat all day from the beauty of nature.
One of the MOST magical , but simple moments of my life happened when
I was watering a tree with a garden hose at this home where I live
now. . The water was arced high in the afternoon light, glittering,
clear, very peaceful, not very efficient way to water, but I was
enjoying seeing the water arc, the local hummingbird- with shimmery
green irridescence flew up, excitedly, and danced back and forth in
the air at the wonder of the water he was seeing. He could not
understand it, he flew forward, and stuck his head and beak into the
water stream, the darted back, hovered, and darted in again. It was a
waterfall to him! I stood as still as possible, watching the clear
droplets fall, and let him play as long as he wanted in the
waterfall... then he drank his fill, I think, sated his curiosity,
and flew away.
I think we all need to hear of a little beauty in our overly busy lives.
now go slap some slurry,and solve the world's problems.
