January lingers, caught within the accordion effect of days that pass too quickly and a month that goes on forever. We do, however, have a few days with sunshine, a blessed and welcome event.
After a long workday, beginning with an abruptly gentle awakening at 4am, I finally decided that a trip to the off leash park would be a great release for both dogs and owner. Collars on, and we are out the door.
The lab did her usual round about the car, and settled into the back seat. My older dog was a little more problematic, opting to complete some tasks before even thinking about the car. I stood patiently, looking around in a wide-eye sweep of my surroundings.
A familiar sound entered my consciousness, and I quickly looked around to find its source. There she was, my tiny hummingbird friend, two feet above me in the small cherry tree. “Hello, good to see you”, I spoke out loud. She returned my greeting by fluttering and landing several times, moving to a branch a little bit closer. I took a minute to still myself, but as I unwound my cluttered mind I watched as my hummingbird friend emanated her joy and appreciation of life.
“Alright, I will listen, and receive”, I replied. I felt a warm wave of energy embrace me, much like being in a wind tunnel of appreciation and light.
“You worry too much”, she told me. Yes, I know that sometimes I wander into the future, creating quite a stir. “Worry creates the future in a way that does not honor you, and never tells the truth”. The simplicity of the message brought clarity to my vision and knowing.
As I walked through the park, watching the dogs in their outdoor adventure, not a worry came into my mind. I was there for the moment, and found it a wonderful place to be.
