Oh yes, this really speaks to me. In fact, just this week we had a pleasure of seeing a heron wading in a stream, right across our balcony, and I grabbed the camera just in time to see him tackle a big fish. Totally relate with your appreciation for the bird as a spirit animal.

Amazing story of your heron rescue! Looking at that situation symbolically, it feels like you were doing big work. To me, the heron represents the solo traveler, and the venturer of the deep emotions. So your mission to save that bird feels like a representation of your work as an artist, and your work for the artists of the world. Thank you. Proud of you.
