Parable of the Hummingbird and the Trumpet Creeper
A hummingbird greets a Trumpet Creeper
It was early Autumn when a Hummingbird entered a garden and hovered next to a Trumpet Creeper, drawn by her orange-red petals and intoxicated by the scent of her nectar.
“Hello Trumpet Creeper!” the joyful bird announced. “I bring you stories from afar to lift your spirits and am here to keep you company.” It was customary for hummingbirds to announce themselve

“If I were to put words to the encounter, it would be these: I am here, I have always been here and I will always be here. You are completely known to me and I love you completely. I treasure this moment with you. This is Heaven”

“There was no point where this Entity started or ended. I could not say it was standing over there or it came from that direction. It was everywhere at once. The communication taking place was instant, complete and silent. No words, no symbols or sounds. Yet any misunderstanding was impossible. This was a communion, not a conversation.”

“There is injustice every day and anger is a natural response to it. However, most of us will never feel the thing we call anger. We will put up barriers against it out of fear.
But to allow that feeling to blossom, to let it teach you, that’s when freedom is possible. All you need is to pay close attention to the thing called 'anger,' open yourself up to it. Question it, examine it as you would a beautiful shell you might find on a beach. Then anger will dissolve into understanding and inner conflict is ended.”

“Life and death are inseparable. Death is everywhere, if you want to see it. Watch a wave rise, then crash and vanish. Or a leaf drop from a tree.
Every time you send your loved ones to school or work, there is an ending. You are not guaranteed to meet them again. Death cannot exist without life, and life is full of death.
If you want to see it.”
