May 2020
I had an experience in my yard today. My sanctuary. A loud buzzing began very close to my ear. I was certain a bee must be landing on me. Until I felt the power of wind on my face. My head turned into direct eye contact with a hummingbird, mesmerized. THE hummingbird. Since moving into this house she has been all the messages of my mother, lover of hummingbirds. Delivering signs, answering your heart. The sign you feel in your soul from God just when needed. Silky, feather gray with black eyes bore into me, explaining everything. Time disappeared. Uncertainties became certain. She was all the answers, all the reasons. Everything I have asked and all that is unhealed in me passed between our eyes. It was a sacred space apart from either now or then, a separate peace connecting our conscious. The unexplained. With only inches between us, our eyes spoke. Her long elegant beak opened in silent serenade. It was an eternity in a moment. A miracle. Then she fluttered into the desert willow to dance.
