If you have ever had the opportunity to see a hummingbird in front of you, you will surely know that they are one of the most beautiful birds in the world. Although they are considered the smallest, their speed of flight and their striking plumage dazzle every time they are seen flying or perching on a flower.
Due to its colorful beauty, the hummingbird (or hummingbird) has inspired different stories and legends that have remained alive until today; in fact, for some cultures it was a magical and divine being. One of those stories will change your conception of life (and death). Do you dare to hear it?
Legend has it that when a man or woman reaches the time of death, their soul detaches from their body and flies freely until it lands on a flower. There, hidden and safe, she waits, watching the days and nights go by, getting wet with the rain and protecting herself from the wind with each petal that protects her. They say that in the flower, the soul purifies itself, perfumes itself, connects with the land that has seen it born.
But one day a hummingbird comes to her and discovers her among the petals. If he is the chosen one and her time has come, he lovingly picks her up and carries her over her body flying to paradise.
That, according to the wisest of the oldest peoples, is the reason why hummingbirds jump from flower to flower and quickly fly away until they are lost in the clouds.
