The Nectar of Life

Today is the Summer Solstice. This is the longest day of the year. As you move through the next couple of months of summer, it would be good to keep in mind the lessons that the hummingbird teaches us.

1. Even though the hummingbird is the smallest bird, I just learned that this dynamic little creature has been known to chase off eagles.

~The ‘hummer’ teaches us to be fearless in life.

2. Their name comes from the vibration that the wings make. Humming creates an internal massage in us, which helps to restore our natural health and balance.

~Try implementing a little ‘humming’ in your daily activities and see how much better you will feel.

3. Hummingbirds are the most skillful flyer. They can hover in the air, fly forward, sideways and they are the only bird that is able to fly backwards. They cannot walk.

~This reminds us that if we truly enjoy the things that we do, we will feel as light as a feather.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“Nature has an amazing way of teaching us something new, if we slow down for a just a moment and drink from the nectar of life.” tc
