Why Are Hummingbirds So Captivating?

A dear friend of my reminded me of something as she responded to a posting on the Walk With Wings page on Facebook. She said, “Hummingbirds are JOY”! I could feel her heart sing, hear the musical tones that emanate from her soul even though we are at opposite corners of this country.

Crow Magic – I Circle Around

The teaching of native cultures is one of honor for all, including the earth and all its inhabitants. In this song the Whirlwind is personified, and wears on his head two crow feathers, by which the dancers are to be borne upward to the new spirit world.

He said, “You are the offspring of a crow.”

This song was composed by Sitting Bull, the Arapaho . . . → Continue Reading: Offspring of a Crow

The Hummingbird, Dancer of Air

In the words of Ednah Proctor Clarke:

Dancer of air,
Flashing thy flight across the noontide hour,
To pierce and pass ere it is full aware
Each wondering flower!

The grave thrush sings His love-call, and the nightingale’s romance
Throbs through the twilight; thou hast but thy wings,
Thy sun-thrilled dance
Yet doth love’s glow ?
Burn in the ruby of thy restless . . . → Continue Reading: The Hummingbird, Dancer of Air
