The Hummingbird and the Woodpecker
From
the window in my home office I have a great view of my neighbor's driveway and
garage door.
Fortunately, I also can see some of the beautiful shrubs and trees that line their
driveway. One
of these trees is a White Bark Birch. Recently
I noticed a Red-headed Woodpecker happily pounding away on the trunk of the White
Bark Birch, indicating that the tree has some kind of insect infestation. The
Woodpecker would come to feast on the insects every few days or so, providing
me with the pleasure of seeing its colorful beauty.
Last week there was a new visitor to this natural bird feeder. A Hummingbird began
hovering near the insect-laden white tree trunk. It, too, was eating the insects
that were infesting the tree. The
most interesting thing about this is that the Hummingbird doesn't have the ability
to peck at the bark in order to gain availability to the insects that reside under
the bark. The Hummingbird needs the Woodpecker to peck holes in the bark and open
up the bark in order to gain access to the insects. After
enjoying this interaction for a bit, it came to me that this was more than an
act of symbiosis in nature. This was an Animal Message for me. But what was it?
A
bit of musing upon the subject brought me to the realization of all the different
bits of symbolism contained in this display. -
Firstly, that the Woodpecker symbolized a teacher, parent, or life coach, in that
it was opening up a way so that the Hummingbird could gain access to nutrition.
-
The symbolic meaning of nutrition in this Animal Message is wisdom and knowledge.
- The
Hummingbird represented the student, child, coaching client, or anyone else who
is hungry for the nutrition of knowledge.
-
It is only by the symbiotic action of the Woodpecker that the Hummingbird can
gain the life-giving nutrition it needs and desires. Likewise, the searcher of
knowledge needs the coach or teacher, as symbolized by the Woodpecker, to give
it access to the source of what it seeks.
Finally,
this tidbit of wisdom came to me: Everyone
is always either a Woodpecker or a Hummingbird. Always. Depending
upon the situation, you are being a Woodpecker by opening someone's path to knowledge
OR you're being a Hummingbird by following the path to knowledge as it is opened
for you. Woodpeckers:
By your actions and your words, what are you teaching?
Hummingbirds: What are you learning from the actions and words of the Woodpeckers? Love, Kathy
