This week one of the artists at our church is hosting a show of pieces bespeaking Peace, and I selected Heron Walking from the Spring class Awakening our Mythic Legend.
On the train headed from Oregon to my Color of Woman Graduation celebration in California in the fall of 2015, I began seeing herons in the wetlands, and later heard they were much loved by our teacher Shiloh's mentor Sue Hoya Sellers!
Heron stands tall and silent, rooted in the watery depths, watching, waiting for a day we can gather with our artful crafts of music, dance and storytelling, sharing in wonder and the inspiration of creativity.
Heron Walking - 2021
Crossing the threshold
we are enough,
each of us, all of us.
We can be heard
singing our songs
calling for change
for respect
choosing to rise.
Rose petals on the path
and waiting, in still waters
Diving deep
Emerging
with hidden treasures.
Nadya Vestella King, 2021
