Hummingbird Shaman

I usually write about my hummingbird encounters at HummingbirdShaman.com.  With the seasons changing and my travels I have not had nearly enough of my hummingbird friends.  During the drier summer months there were fewer appearances of the hummingbirds, and it took some time for me to realize that there was something in their place.

Yesterday I took another walk at the park, and as usual I called out for my little winged friend.  There was no sign of the hummingbirds, either visual or vocally, but something shot across my path – a dragonfly.  This was not a coincidence, but had become a regular part of my walk, always in the areas previously occupied by the hummingbirds.

This dragonfly appeared from nowhere, crossing my pathway in a pattern that was apparent and obvious, and disappeared in the taller trees to the west.  Hmmm, this is the same pathway I had observed the hummingbirds taking in past months.

Dragonflies and hummingbirds are both amazing spiritual totems.  We all can use reminders from time to time of our abilities, and we can thank our totem animal friends for those friendly reminders.
