This highly evocative drawing depicts the bond between mother and child, and the highest and most powerful emotion of love that can be shared between two people. The mother’s arms tenderly envelope the small infant close to her chest protecting the new being from the world around.
The hummingbird on the right is a symbol of love, joy and beauty. The hummingbird is able to fly backwards which reminds us that we have the ability to look back into our past but it also teaches us not to dwell there but to also move forward. When the hummingbird hovers over flowers drinking nectar, we learn how we too should savor each moment living in the present and it reminds us to have gratitude for the things that we love.
