“One can appreciate & celebrate each moment — there’s nothing more
sacred.
There’s nothing more vast or absolute. In fact, there’s nothing more!” ― Pema Chödrön
“Meditation is the only intentional, systematic human activity which at bottom is about not trying to improve yourself or get anywhere else,
but simply to realize where you already are.”
― Jon Kabat-Zinn, Wherever You Go, There You Are

As I sat in meditation this morning, a male ruby-throated hummingbird zipped from behind me, passing over my left shoulder to feed on the lavender blossoms of a hosta plant in Betsy's back yard garden.
Hovering about three feet in front of my nose, it spent a few moments there dancing from flower to flower before moving to the monarda to my right for a few moments. It then flew straight towards me before stopping to linger for a moment about six inches off my my right cheek.
Convinced, I suppose, that I wasn't in the same league as Betsy's amazing array of multi-colored sweetness, he then kicked it in gear and disappeared, passing within a few inches of my right shoulder.
"Whirrr............Silence."
Enough said?
