Here she is


There is something magical about having a hummingbird nearby, nesting in a tree that has been struggling to make it. Not properly planted, my Fuji persimmon tree's poor spindly trunk just now supporting a nice green canopy and maybe even able to bear some fruit this year. Once a source of worry, the tree is now a perfect place. There may be hope for it after all. Maybe the good juju of this little bird will infuse the tree with new life, some course correction for what it is supposed to be but has fallen short due to lack of proper care and feeding.

Not like this nest and the little mother in it. Proper care and feeding. A reminder that we must do this for ourselves too, lest we lose our way. Feed our souls. Feed our minds and bodies. Giving life a chance to show itself off, the details of the Grand Design peeking through.
