We have hummingbirds here, too. One little hummingbird knocked itself out flying into our glass patio door. I picked it up and held it in my hands for about ten minutes praying that it would be alright. It finally opened its eyes..looked at me..and in another five minutes, it flew away. I understand exactly what your friend wrote about. I feel a strong connection to all living things. I believe the soul can materialize anywhere...and we must love all life that our Creator made.
Eons ago, people asked "why" and the only answer they were able to give was "the Gods willed it." Scientists do a better job now, tracking down the relationships between causes and effects.
Jordan Peterson is a philosopher, not a scientist, but he remarked about scientific investigations in this way: When you ask "why" and then you ask "why" about the answer, and … and you eventually run out of answers, the only answer left is God.
Physicists have done a good job of measuring the very small and very large, and developing mathematical models that predict phenomena accurately. They do a good job of describing and measuring the "what" of things, and the "why" between cause and effect on much deeper levels than they could 500 years ago. But when you get down to "why are there three kinds of leptons and three kinds of quarks, and why are quantum phenomena entangled, and why does the universe contain luminous matter and dark matter and dark energy and why does matter deform spacetime and …" you're left with Einstein's motivation: "I wonder whether God had any choice in the creation of the Universe."
What a beautiful story. It reminds me that life is fleeting and we must make the most of the time God allots us on this planet. Charlie Kirk did just that. He had a mission and accomplished more in his short life than most will ever do in decades.
God is all around us. The story checks out with the hummingbird rescue and the moments which followed. Hummingbirds are amazing and beautiful, fairy-like and out-of-this-world-like with their precise agility and ability. The timing of your friend’s experience reminds me that life is precious and time is, too, and the way we choose to spend it can be meaningful and good and lasting.

Barbara: Yes we should repect all life.

VS: Thank you for the good examples of a tiny amount of what we do not know.

Coleen: Spot on!
A beautiful story of life and how fragile it is. The hummingbird was saved, as was Charlie Kirk by our lord and savior.
We must all help each other and all of God's creatures whenever we can. Loving all of God's creation is the only way forward.
SM: TY for your good insights.

Bonnie: Yes, yes, and yes.
