The Hummingbird Feeder as a Path to the Divine?

This morning I was watching a hummingbird hover near the hummingbird feeder I installed on my back porch. It whirred up, hovered, then perched lightly on the little bar, dipping its beak into the plastic flower filled with nectar. I imagined the hummingbird’s delight to find delicious nectar in a safe spot (hanging, away from squirrels), landing on a bar perfectly designed to fit it’s little talons, the ideal distance from the nectar. It probably wouldn’t know that someone intentionally designed that feeder, that someone else intentionally filled it and hung it. It would probably not be aware that there was a larger consciousness looking out for it. Which made me wonder. What if that is there for me? For all of us? What if there is a larger consciousness (call it God or Source or Love or Grandma) intentionally putting things I would like or need in my path? Is it such a stretch to believe that if I could arrange things for a hummingbird, without its knowledge, that someone might be arranging things for me? What if there is a Divine Design and it is personal?
