While in the shower this morning, it occured to me that you may never know what sunrise will be your last.
As of today, I've been around for 12,842 of them.
“A rare experience of a moment at daybreak, when something in nature seems to reveal all consciousness, cannot be explained at noon. Yet it is part of the day's unity.”
~Charles Ives
Today when I was walking into work I noticed something on the ground. Initially I thought it was a Cicada because of its size and color. Upon closer inspection it turned out to be a hummingbird. I was not aware how small they are. It was lying in front of the office building where I work; I presume it may have flown into the reflective glass. FAIL?
Anyway, thinking this may be an omen of sorts, I the googled 'dead humming bird' and learned the following:
Since pre-Conquest times the hummingbird has been considered by many Middle American [Central America] peoples to have supernatural powers. Today it is esteemed by many as a love charm. A dead hummingbird may be worn around the neck in a little bag, to give the wearer the power to attract members of the opposite sex, or it may be dried and a little powder dropped into the drink of the person whose love is desired.”
What's this? People, please do not resort to wearing dead birds around your neck. The only thing you will attract is a bunch of flies, a few 'yuks', and protest from bird lovers.
Sardonic? Maybe.
But, I have a big heart and have been blessed to be able to see humor in most situations.
Be Childlike.
Never lose that.
