The most delicate of beings...yet also very resilient. I have handled many hummingbirds in my time and they never cease to amaze me. Whether an adult who smacked a window such as this lovely in my hand...or a baby who was knocked from a nest...each of them inspire me to face life's challenges no matter how small I feel at times. Thus my favorite poem, from Emily Dickinson...
"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all..."
