Prayer

Heron by the wonderful Tofino artist 
and environmentalist, Mark Hobson

Heron,
hunch-shouldered in the mist,
picky-toeing among the pebbles
at the water's edge,
you search the shore with lidded eyes,
your every curving line
teaching me:
contemplation
stillness
acceptance

Prayer.

    This is superb, Sherry. So much tranquility is to be found in the simplest acts of nature.

    bowed, vigilant, picky, hungry--but even so we learn the steps to and pace of prayer
