Have you ever observed a humming-bird
moving about in an aërial dance
among the flowers —
a living prismatic gem
that changes its colour
with every change of position…
it is a creature of such
fairy-like loveliness as to
mock all description.
W. H. Hudson, Green Mansions:
A Romance of the Tropical Forest, 1916
San Francisco Chinatown
For instance, dragons are
deeply revered by the Chinese.
According to legend they have
megapowers that include weather control
and life creation. And they’re seen
as kind, benevolent creatures.
Jennifer Rardin
A good roof protector!
Hummingbird beams
enjoyment of life,
dances the lightness of being.
Enjoy life's sweetness,
find the shaft of light,
share the ruby you carry,
rest when it is time.
Fondly, cloudia
