Holy crap! Time — or at least the last six weeks — hasn’t exactly strolled by. If anything, it’s buzzed past me like the hummingbird that visits my backyard feeder: she’s there, I see her, and the second I try to acknowledge her, she’s gone. Just like the last six weeks. Gone. And here I am… still wrestling with the decision‑making beast that refuses to leave my side.
The good news? I’ve had some incredible opportunities lately — the kind that demand every ounce of time and energy I’ve had. The bad news? I still feel like I lost the time. Like I should be further along. Like this path I chose should be revealing itself a little faster. I know, I know — I talk in riddles. So I’ve been told.
“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.” ― Henry David Thoreau
But I am reminded that nothing great comes quickly. OK. Wait. Winning the lottery would be relatively quick, and that wouldn’t be so bad.
But, until then … I will keep building the foundation, even when the castle feels far away. I will keep choosing the path, even when it’s slow. I will keep showing up, even when time feels like a hummingbird — impossible to catch. And maybe that’s my biggest dream: to be content enough to hover. To pause. To trust the moment I’m in without lamenting the past or fretting about the future.
And that’s all I have for you today … BTW, legend has it that hummingbirds can suspend time because they hover. How lovely would it be to do the same — even for a breath.
