As I watched this beautiful heron standing at the edge of a pond, I had a wondering. What must his life be like, spending his days alone, all by himself? Is he lonely?
My suspicion is no. I suspect he’s living his life just as he was designed. A seemingly solitary existence, but in actuality completely connected to the spirit of the Earth and all Her beings. Not alone at all.
And I realized I’ve had glimpses of this connection in my own wanderings. An inexplicable feeling of union with all life and living, though seemingly alone in the woods. Perhaps it’s the memory of that feeling that draws me back again and again.
Such an intriguing place, the natural world…
