Lessons from Hummingbirds

I love to watch hummingbirds flit to flowers and feeders and back. I’ve noticed when they land on an empty feeder or another object such as a branch or a wire where there is no nectar, they spend very little time there.

These lovely little creatures must always pursue more sweet nectar in order to sustain their high metabolism and very active lifestyle of almost constant flight. Without new sources of sweetness, they would simply die.

I hope we can learn from them and never stop pursuing the sweetest moments and memories that give our very souls life.

I’ll end with a little #Haiku for you:

like a hummingbird
as we pursue sweetness we
find ourselves sustained
