Hope Requires Trust in Providence
The hummingbird, like the swallow, trusts in providence.
Providence is the faith that nothing can prevent us from fulfilling the ultimate meaning of our existence. Providence does not mean a divine planning by which everything is predetermined, as is an efficient machine. Rather, Providence means that there is a creative and saving possibility implied in every situation, which cannot be destroyed by any event.

Amen! To most indigenous people the hummingbird is the messenger between the worlds…fitting here! Wouldn’t your photo make a glorious postage stamp!
Now that would be fun, indeed! Thanks, Rita, and have a good weekend, Pat
