Have you ever held a hummingbird in your hands? It is the most spiritually uplifiting thing I have ever experienced. My love for hummingbirds began when I encountered one during my trek to Machu Picchu. At high altitude there is what I can only describe as a jungle type environment and here was the first time I met with what I consider one of God's most precious creatures. They are magical. Breathtakingly stunning is not even a sufficient word to describe them. I have seen them hover in the trees in Mendoza, Argentina in the midst of summer, and now, I can not believe my luck to tell you that they arrive in our garden in Laguna Verde.
This beauty came into our house last Sunday. She, I say she is a she because I have been told that the males have a red breast, was such a sight to behold. I felt her heart beat, I saw all her beautiful colours. Her presence made me feel such an elevated feeling of well being and peace. They say that hummingbirds are a gateway between life and death, messengers from another realm. I wonder what message this marvellous creature had for me from our dearly departed? Releasing her back into the wild was a release for me, I let all my worries go, I let them fly away with her into the wind.
