So tonight I was a little angry-upset. Yup, even on a beautiful island you're allowed to be upset. Well, I went upstairs to my room and flopped on the bed thinking of the online chats that got me into this funk, when buzzing and bumping around me was a beautiful little hummingbird. I have the most open room on the property; I have one full wall, two half walls and one "wall" is actually just a waist-high wood railing. A hummingbird made it's way in and somehow can't figure out how to get out, or doesn't want to leave. I got out of bed and watched it fly around, perching itself on the wood rafters and the close line, then zooming around again. I turned off the lights and still it hasn't left.
I was wondering as I watched this hummingbird fly high with the roof around it, but just 1 foot below has open space waiting for it to fly through, if that could be a metaphor for problems in life.
Could it mean:
a) when we're in a problem that's all we see, not the open space/solutions that surround us
b) sometimes we can bash out heads against the wall, but all we really need to be free is to get outside
c) sometimes we aim our resolutions too high
d) sometimes a there is no higher place to go, there is no high road option, for a problem
e) absolutely nothing, it's just a pretty hummingbird to distract me so that I forget what I was ever in a funk about.
... thanks lil hummingbird
