Hummingbird

Posted December 22nd, 2007 by Anonymous

Hummingbirds are small birds in the family Trochilidae , native only to the Americas. They are known for their ability to hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings, 15–80 times per second (depending on the species). Capable of sustained hovering, the hummingbird has the ability to fly deliberately backwards (this is the only group of birds able to do so) or vertically, and to maintain position while drinking nectar or eating tiny arthropods from flower blossoms. They are named for the characteristic hum made by their wings.

When the heart achieves its desire you shall transcend time and space ~ for the hearts desire is to love so deeply that it becomes a fragment of life's heart. The Eagle and the Hummingbird is my real life story of that inner transformation through love.
