As I was doing my singing practice, my mind wandered to two other activities that I could do. The image of hummingbirds flitting in and out around a feeder sprang into my mind.
Do we act like hummingbirds, darting from one task to another? Do we assume that the feeder will always be there with no thought of how it came to be?
Or do we act like eagles, soaring high above the ground, searching for just the right opportunity? Do we also realize that we will fail most of the time, but we will go back into the sky to look again for the right opportunity?
