Stay with me a bit,
hummingbird so beautiful.
Stay. My heart still smiles.
Source Of All Blessings
You bless us
with long lines and waiting
to teach us patience,
with uncertainty
to teach us humility,
with isolation
to teach us contemplation
and the time
to watch hummingbirds
come and go
and come and go.
May we take these unwanted gifts
and more
as the opportunities they are.
Thank you for the lessons of life.
May we be worthy students.*
