Dear Kateri! I share in your new normal…. I praise you for finding beauty and magnificence in nature; internalizing the acknowledgement of the heron in the pond and also as it is showing up in your mind…. again and again! We lived on Heron Bay for many years and witnessed these gorgeous creatures often!

Your poem is so inspiring and very much appreciated!❤️

How fortunate to have that space and time to connect with the heron. There is something so majestic when they lift off and take to flight. So enjoyed your post and poem.
