The Hummingbird...

A female hummingbird is known for being smart (actually all hummingbirds are). They have sharp memories and can use that to their advantage when the occasion rises. Hummingbirds know how to show off their brillance when they need to but will also hide their light on occasion. Hummingbirds like to and spend most of their life perching and watching the world around them. Their legs are super weak which is why the flutter and soar from point to point in life. Males and females also don't mate for life and females are left to raise the young while males are protective and territorial.

How accurate of a description for what FD and E are seeing in their own lives! E especially gets the perching and watching life happen. She's finally letting life happen to her with mixed results. FD is on a new path and is soaring through some rough times. Both E and FD have learned to hide their brillance or themselves (we don't think we're super brillant in that sense) because it gets abused when its just put out there for others.

Here are the lyrics:
Lyrics to Hummingbird Song :

Sunlight beats down hard here
Count the cracks in the ground
And we sleep through days of flood and fire
At night we fly above this town

Now we're coming down
Now we're coming down
We're coming down

At night I dream of the hummingbird
Feel the beatings of its wings
And if you only had one choice my dear
Would you fly or would you sing

Now we're coming down
Now we're coming down
We're coming down

And in a year of new beginnings dear
How do we write the end?

Here she comes
Here she comes
The hummingbird
The hummingbird
The hummingbird

Sunlight beats down hard here
Count the cracks in the ground
And we sleep through days of flood and fire
At night we fly above this town

Now we're coming down
Now we're coming down
We're coming down

At night I dream of the hummingbird
Feel the beatings of its wings
And if you only had one choice my dear
Would you fly or would you sing

Now we're coming down
Now we're coming down
We're coming down

And in a year of new beginnings dear
How do we write the end?

Here she comes
Here she comes
The hummingbird
The hummingbird
The hummingbird

That's what we kind of are right now as we both flutter solo through life's journey.
