Overwhelmed with the treachery in life, she turned her face to the sun in a practical act of self preservation. She needed to feel connected, to something or someone. The warmth of the sun on her skin and the sting of the suns rays in her eyes, reminded her she was alive. She was still here. Every fibre of her being was pervaded by a state of languor, of listless indolence. Her thoughts were scrambled, rushing forward, rushing back.... desperately searching for reason and resolution all at the same time. She wondered how she would muster the strength to forge ahead. How she might navigate the perplexities placed before her.
She opened her eyes again & noticed the sun filtering through the leaves of the tree just outside the window. She noticed a little hummingbird just hovering outside the window. It hovered before her for the longest time & seemed to be as interested in her as she was in it. This was the connection she'd needed. This tiny, sweet little jewel of nature had visited her at her window and in it's wake it had filled her heart with hope and joy.
As a very wise and insightful woman once said," Look for the beauty in the spaces in between."Helen Keller.
If we could all just do this we would learn how to restore our faith and hope in life itself.
