Seeking refuge

Hummingbird outside my office window, under
 the overhang, taking refuge from torrential rain.
CC  Jean Stimmell : 6/11/13 

“By perceiving the animal in man we may perceive rudiments of divinity, essential archetypal modes of consciousness–[1]“

“The impact of an archetype… evokes in us all those beneficent forces that… have enabled humanity to find a refuge from every peril and to outlive the longest night. [2]”
