Stop and hummmmm a little

This spring has been busy as usual.  Today I was captivated by a pair of Hummingbirds outside my kitchen window.  It's a bit usual to see two hummingbirds at the feeder at the same time, but today there were two sharing the feeder.  Hummingbirds can be territorial and recent events have highlighted how territorial people can be also.  As I watched these two birds share the same space, I reflected on how, if we put aside differences, we can get along.  If we relax a little, we give ourselves the freedom to taste the sweetness of nectar.  One of the two birds was especially dramatic about drinking the nectar and then flicking his tongue out into the air.  The light glistened off the end of his tiny little tongue as he savored the sweetness.  There's a lesson here.  I want to slow down enough to taste the sweetness of life.  To flick my tongue out and let the sunlight shine on my life!
