why a hummingbird?

Seeming as the aim of this is mainly a style blog, it occured to me that the name 'Hummingbird' probably doesn't make sense and seems a bit random really. There is an explanation behind the name and it is as follows... I once came across this beautiful piece of writing, I think it was on a card or something like that...

'Legend says that Hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love, joy and celebration. Like a hummingbird we aspire to hover and savour each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and celebrate the joy of everyday. The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation'

Nice, isn't it? Hummingbirds are native to the mountains of South America and have a number of spiritual meanings, some believe they are messengers between worlds, but the main belief is that they are here to bring our conciousness away from the routine and mundane, to draw our attention to the beauty and wonderfulness of life itself.

ooo getting deep there...

As you can see, i actually found this so lovely I got one inked to my arm for all eternity, although I've had to get used to this statement...'I like your kingfisher'...
