I love Hummingbirds! I just can't get enough of
watching them. We are very fortunate in Oklahoma that we are in their
migratory flight pattern so we have the opportunity to see a lot of them during
the summer months. When I look at them I am reminded of how delicate and
yet resilient their lives are - our lives are. I am also amazed at how
many places they can find a little sip of nectar to keep them going. It
reminds me of one of the verses in Mary Oliver's poem entitled Summer Story,
“When the Hummingbird sinks its face into the trumpet vine, into the funnels of
the blossoms and the tongue leaps out and throbs, I am scorched to realize once
again how many small, available things are in this world that aren’t pieces of
gold or power that nobody owns. . .”
