When I was searching the web for information on hummingbirds displaced by fires, I ran across this video parable. Enjoy it.



Description: The parable of a hummingbird that takes small steps toward achieving a big goal has its origins with the Haida people of the Pacific Northwest and the Quechan people of South America. Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas produced this short insightful clip highlighting the main character (Dukdukdiya). Animated in the same 'haida manga' style.

I couldn't see it either, just the box with the dreaded red "x." Thank goodness the direct link worked. A good parable--touching, thought provoking, and inspiring.

What an incredibly sweet story! Thank you Steve for sharing that with us and reminding us that we should all do what we can no matter how small the effort.
