heron guides the growth
When Myrna, Shirley and I collapsed onto the sofa on moving day, we faced the window and corner fireplace. The mantle was empty and sterile. Yet it could be a focal point for the living room. What shall we put there? Myrna suggested the bird, and went to her car to bring in the blue metal heron that I received as a gift several years ago. We stood it on the mantle, and marvelled at its perfect setting. Now a month later, I have added a few other items to the mantle. It serves as my altar.
Setting up a sacred space in a new home is first. Once the heron was in place, everything came together smoothly. It’s been work, but my new condo is home. I am settling in.
