Thankful Thursday: Hope
I’m grateful today for Hope, the mama hummingbird who’s bringing to my backyard garden these little glimpses of heaven.
Two tiny eggs, one hidden from view
She carries light on her gossamer wings, quilts earth and sky together with her long, slender beak.
Protective mamas, this hummingbird and me
Hope graces our garden with her beautiful presence, brings joy to the present moment and –tucked into that perfect little nest—the tiniest glimpses of Possibility.
She built her home on the strong, high branch of a podocarpus tree, using spider silk and magic. And somewhere in that process, Hope, that thing with feathers, has perched herself on my soul.
