ABOUT THE LOGO

Possibility during Moments of Seeming Impossibility

When a hummingbird is in flight, its wings beat so quickly they cannot be seen—the bird appears to hover effortlessly in place. What this industrious little bird teaches us is that even in motion, we can embody stillness.

The hummingbird works diligently to find sweetness in its life. In this depiction, it rests atop a plum blossom, a treasured symbol in Chinese culture. The plum blossom tree endures for many years, its flowers blooming most brightly during the harshest winter conditions. As such, the plum blossom has come to signify perseverance, resilience, and hope through adversity.

What the With Brave Wings’ logo embodies is possibility during moments of seeming impossibility—the heart of this practice.
