The bear does not ask the bird why it's small,
and the bird does not fear the bear for being large.
They simply look—
in a wordless moment—
and understand:
life need not match to live in harmony.
The bear carries the earth.
The bird carries the wind.
Yet both hear the moon
whispering in their blood.
No one dominates.
No one bows.
Only presence,
and a reverence for one another,
like two ancient spirits
who remember where they came from.
We—humans—
have forgotten how to see like this.
Forgotten how to listen with the heart.
But nature remembers.
And tonight,
the bear and the hummingbird
remind us.
