February 17, 2008: It is a cool but pleasant afternoon, and again I find myself stopping for a quiet moment along my way. Quiet moment, what a laugh, that is not my way. Today I find myself at a crossroad. Turmoil fills me as I bring forward and release waves of energies I had held for so long. I am the ultimate drama queen, making the most of every peak and valley with great vigor.
I found myself drawn to this bench overlooking the valley & mount rainier. Closing my eyes, I turn inward to still myself and speak to my guidance. Suddenly my attention is drawing to a chattering sound. This is a familiar voice, but unexpected at this moment. As I open my eyes I find a hummingbird perched on a branch only a few feet away from me. His beautiful red chest glimmers in the sun, and he turns to reflect this beauty my way. He spoke to me, chattering quickly and without hesitation, speaking of simplicity, of love, and living in the light of divine without question or thought of any other option. As soon as his message was delivered he was gone. I stopped thinking of myself, and nothing I had lingered held importance anymore.
