gjfotos Read the story about the song Tenderness and how Hummingbirds were involved in creating this song. It is beautiful and gives peace to our minds in these hectic times we are in right now. I listened to it over and over again. I allways do this when Tony Anderson brings out new work, because the beauty of it is the most powerfull when you hear it the first 10 times. Like a good wine after a stressful week. It brings peace. ;-)

Lofi Z34 God has odd ways he speaks to us, and it is not always with words. "In silence you will hear my voice" he says. God knows your emotions and your thoughts and shares the pain with you. Those hummingbirds are his way of approaching you with incredible gentleness and, tenderness.

about

A few families of hummingbirds live in the vines right outside of our home in Los Angeles. They've become little friends of mine over the last year. I make nectar for them, talk with them and look after them when we get heavy rain or strong winds. Each day they chase one another outside of my studio as I work. They have made my life infinitely beautiful.

As I was writing Tenderness, the momma hummingbirds built nests right next to my door and spent time looking in at me as I played. They were drawn to the music. I didn't know why Tenderness came to me when I first received it and I still don't know what the song is about. It may be quite some time before I know. But what I can tell you is that I haven't talked to God much since my mom died, and I don't hear him anymore. I miss the connection we had before my mom died. And in the midst of this, these little hummingbirds have come to spend time with me. When they're around, I experience peace - and I'm learning to take a breath and slow down. They don't take things too seriously, so maybe I don't have to. Most days I've just been sitting and watching these fragile little friends play and shout. Their tenderness has become a universe of healing to me.
