We are constantly being bombarded by problems that we face
and sometimes we can get completely overwhelmed
the story of this humming bird is about this huge forest
being consumed by the fire
all the animals in the forest came out
and they are transfixed as they watched the forest burning
and they feel very overwhelmed
very powerless
except this little humming bird
it says: I'm going to do something about the fire
so it flies to the nearest stream
it takes a drop of water
and puts it on the fire
and goes up and down, up and down, up and down
as fast as it can
in the mean time, all the other animals ...
much bigger animals like the elephant, with a big trunck
could bring much more water
They are standing there helpless
and they are saying to the humming bird
what do you think you can do?
You are too little,
This fire is so big
your wings are too little !!!
and your beak is so small that can bring only a small drop of water.
at a time that, as they continue to discourage it
it turns to them without wasting any time
and tells them:
I am doing the best I can
and that to me
is what all of us should do
We should always feel like a humming bird
I may feel insignificant,
but I certainly don't want to be
like the animals watching the planet goes down the drain
I will be a humming bird!
I will do the best I can.
