Hummingbirds and cloud messages...

For the last few months I've been seeing Humming birds in the clouds, on t-shirts, as figurines in shops etc etc etc, but mostly they've been messages in the clouds. The last time this kind of portent came in so strongly was when I was seeing Dragons in clouds,....for years!

so, anyway
Humming Birds are a flightly tiny, industrious, beautiful kind of thing. I love their 'hummmmmmmmmmmm', the vibration, the resonance of their existence, so I was aware I was receiving a message of some sort 'from the universe' when I began to take notice of the reoccurrence of this little being in all these clouds all the time. I loved this website about the Hummingbird animal totem's message...

This flying pattern also has meaning for us. So often, we find ourselves stuck in time: lost in regret about or longing for the past, or hoping (often without much true hope) that the future will be better, hanging our dreams on a distant cloud.

Hummingbird shows us how to re-visit the past for the purpose of releasing it instead of being caught in a permanently backward flight pattern. It also helps us to see that if we step aside we may see our life differently.

Hummingbird teaches us to transcend time, to recognize that what has happened in the past and what might happen in the future is not nearly as important as what we are experiencing now. It teaches us to hover in the moment, to appreciate its sweetness.

Hummingbird tells us to drink deeply of the nectar of life.

And yes, it was very pertinent to my life.

When I took the kids up to Mt Tamborine's Gallery Walk, the first shop we stopped in had an array of 'beautiful things', and Charlie picked up..you guessed it, a crystal hummingbird sun dazzler... :)
