I was walking down by the creek, and saw the flash of a giant wing and my heart thought: oh, oh, oh, something wondrous.
And it was. Something wondrous.
A great blue heron.
I moved closer, and he did not fly away.
We stood together in silence for what seemed like a long time.
These gifts—they bring me to my knees.
