Remember Who You Are

This morning I had a phone call with an associate, discussing plans for the day.  This day will be a busy one, for I’ve been away for several days, and will be playing catch-up.  Sitting in my office, turning my head toward the speakerphone on my cell phone, I spoke of the tasks I must complete today.  My eyes gazed out the window as I spoke.

Suddenly a little form came into my view.  It was a hummingbird.  He centered himself in front of my window, within a few feet of the building, and hovered, pointing in my direction.  “Okay, okay, I’ll get my priorities straight”, I thought.   As soon as I stated my new-found focus he turned and landed on the utility line crossing the property.   This was no hint.  This was a directive. 

I was surprised by this visit, for the feeders are on the opposite side of the building.  This was the first time I had seen a hummingbird outside this window, and I am in my office nearly every day.   There was no doubting that this visit contained a message, and in fact as I type this he returned to oversee my activity.

“Remember who you are” was the message.   Is that a simple statement?  Yes, and no.  Within that thought I hear the voice of love, for the universal appreciation of my existance.  I had set aside what is truly of value, and focused instead on the pressures and responsibilities of the day and remaining week.   It took the gentle touch of a hummingbird’s presence to remind me of who I am, beyond the activities of the day.

“Remember who you are” is a simple thought.  What value are the outward activities without the spark of self and purpose instilled within every step?   By bringing our thought to who is making these steps, to the purpose and expression of spirit we can see the life force energy and passion that fuels these activities.  But it goes even deeper than this: focus simply on your own existance, and understand that you are treasured for being, not for doing.  Doing is the bi-product of being.  Remember who you are. Your steps will then we seen as an expression, not a duty, and will live in the spirit of support for your journey.
