Why is he so frightened?
When the very landscape only exists
To frame his majesty…
He flees to greater distance.
He doesn’t know me. That’s why.
He passes up this depth of appreciation-
Escapes the mirage of danger…
For the mirage of safety.
Well guess what?
I can love from a distance.
You've escaped nothing,
And left a lesson I will not let
Escape me.
If those I love flee-
Or stand motionless against
The back drop of trappings
Where they feel camouflaged…
Because they fear I see them-
I will shine my purest light-
Basking in grace…
Awareness-
Loving them as no one else can…
And they will never be safer…
Because I really see them.
I love the herons and see many along Grand River. They are a proud looking bird. The grandkids and I are thrilled to see them. We get close enough to take pictures of them.
A wonderful personification of someone hiding in plain sight.
There is a reason for the shyness of the Great Blue Heron. In the 1950s while walking in the woods near my grandfather's logging camp, we came across a heron, dead, and hanging in a tree. At that time, almost all birds were in open season all the time. They became very shy of human contact. Fortunately, Great Blue Herons are still around to astound us when we see them.
I have written a chapter called I Am That, I Am in this inspirational compilation book by best-selling authors and wonderful people from all walks of life xox :-D (Its sister book is called Adventures In Manifesting - Success and Spirituality)

So true, safety is an illusion, a mirage.
Keep shining.
