S02 E45 Hummingbird
from An Ounce - For Your Consideration · host Jim Fugate
So why do they call it a hummingbird?Because it remembers the melody, but it can't remember the words. OK sorry – but how about this. A flock of hummingbirds can be referred to in many ways. Grouped together they can be called a Boquete, a glittering, a hover, a shimmer, or ….. a tune (without words of course).And, the name Hummingbird – comes from the sound of their rapidly beating wings. With their bright colors and in your face personalities they are a bit of a fixture in our back yard during the summer. They are fun to watch. But, What if they were bigger – Imagine they were Humming along with those bright colors at about the size of a pigeon or crow.Buzzing you every time you got to close.Problems can be like hummingbirds.The threat a problem seems to pose in direct proportion to it’s perceived size.
