I first came across Papyrus cards a few months ago when looking for a thank you card for a special person. Well crafted stationery, notebooks and cards have always been amongst my favourite things, and the Papyrus collection was just my cup of tea; beautiful designs perfect for hand written messages.
It was only after buying this particular card that I noticed the message of the company and its symbol, a hummingbird...
"Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love, joy and celebration. The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation."
Hummingbirds are one of the world's smallest bird species, but can travel huge distances in their seasonal migrations, fly backwards and hover in mid air, and their wings can flutter at a speed too fast for us to see them clearly. These characteristics of the hummingbird remind us that we must keep moving, whether physically or mentally, and be persistent in moving towards our goals. We can look back on the past but cannot remain there, and should savour the moment we are in and appreciate what surrounds us in the present. And we should ensure our energy is being used in a positive way, to enable us to enjoy life and all it has to offer.
Whether you are into finding meaning and symbols in nature or not, I think that in a world of fast paced, technology driven interaction, we could all do with a bit of the Papyrus message every now and again.
