Heron lifts up,
flutters her wings,
and glides.
I want to ask her:
do you have muscles
and joints that ache?
Is your mind full
of clutter? Are
you thinking about
where to land next?
Or are you simply
enjoying the thrill
of the moment.

the blue heron was my sister sarah knorr’s ’spirit animal.’ after she died i bought a lovely long-sleeve t-shirt with a blue heron. i’m looking forward to a cooler day when i can pull it on and let it hug me all day long.
i love they way the endlessly sit and watch and wait for their next meal to appear.
