I was standing on my back deck chatting it up with my friend, who also happens to be my neighbor, I was on my deck and she on hers when she began pointing behind me,...
I looked over my shoulder and there was a hummingbird hovering in front of our hummingbird feeder and then going in for some sugar water. Pretty cool! Yes? But! The totally amazing thing happened when I squatted down low to give him some space. I was able to watch him for at least 30 seconds. He was watching me too. I could see him eye balling me. Teresa even said, I love that he's got one eye on you at all times. We chuckled.
And then out of nowhere he dive bombed me!!!! It was so,... Well a little scary at first, but totally amazing. Then he flew off and came back for more sugar water. I stayed hunched down so I could watch and he dive bombed me AGAIN!!!
Neither time did he make contact, but Teresa was laughing and I decided he needed a little bit more space than what I was giving him. I'm smart like that, S-M-R-T.
As I was walking into my house and feeling completely blown away at the sense of bravery that little humming bird displayed. I thought to myself, Wow! He ain't skurd a me!
I never thought about a humming bird being a symbol of bravery, but I do now!
If a little humming bird can muster up the bravery to do a dive bomb attack on me, I think I can muster up the bravery to talk about my true feelings or step outside of my comfort zone to expand my life experiences.
Thank you humming bird for your astonishing display of bravery and inspiration.
