Blue Heron Power: Standing in Your Own Power

Pulling into my neighborhood one afternoon an enormous Blue Heron flew over my car headed for a nearby pond. I saw it land, parked my car and hid behind a large tree while it fished for a while. The sunlight created ever changing hues of blue, brown and green color painted across the pond on the golf course. This majestic water bird was carefully placing each foot in the shallow waters, pausing to spot its prey, and then quickly snatching fish after fish with its spear-like beak swallowing them whole by stretching its long neck upward to empty its throat. Blue Heron Power flew away displaying a massive wingspan and a perfect white arrow shape on the back of its head. I have often heard the Blue Heron represents standing strong in our own power.
