The great blue
heron embodied my every longing.
Unconcerned by
that which engulfed him, he swept quickly and with ease over the water,
readying himself to land wherever he felt so drawn. As I marveled over nature’s
artistry and the beauty of his feathers, I felt the sudden urge to memorize
everything about this creature with whose presence I’d been graced. But alas, I
could only watch with awe and wish so acutely that time would stand still, even
if only for this one limited eternity in my ever more feverish life, with him
the teacher, and me the student.
Indeed, the
great blue heron embodied my every longing, and though the moment passed by as
all moments do, I find myself sitting now and thinking, so resoundingly, “The
world does have wonder after all.”
