Wings of the Blue Heron

There is a place inside that tastes the magic spell of heavenly wails. The calling out to dispel all fright, to bring in loving sailing waves to set sail. We want to know the world. To have and to hold. We want to share this world to bring in heavenly glares. And out your window pane, I hope your dream will gain. For we are family in the sacred seas, where we fly across to gift liberty. My wings are true. I fly with you. We are just in the nick of time to help the world to chime. And with all that I find the faith of many who are blind. Help them heal their hearts and place their feet, apart (wakan) walking holy to start. Let us unite our feet, to know the sacred beats. And flood our hearts with love to better this world full of doves, peaceful warriors who bow down to hear all the clowns, those with medicine in their hearts who will heal our sacred pouts.

Listen to the wings of the blue heron and you will find a many of this world. And with the wings of the blue heron, let us migrate making wailing sounds. And with this liberty, my heart belongs to thee. I will fly to you, no matter what the view. I will find you and hold you and love you true blue. Now I noticed time has a liberation time. And thus we must make our waves to let others sail a wave. Set the world on fire, blessings to all this mire. Help them to find the blue, where heaven shines down on you. And with the world who need peace, let my heart be shattered and grieved, to help others who need to find their way, until the day they are saved. And with all the world at hand. We need more than mortal man. We need spiritual waves, those God sent to save, all the children of the Rainbow who will show us the way. We send our love to you. We send it out in the blue. All the oceans of time, rivers that bind, waters that run pure.


We are children longing to feel, the wonder of all that lives in the airs. We are journeying far, just to feel the weather call. The seasons that shine to show us the way. The heart that is known, just have to learn to sow. Then we can fly away, with loving sacred rays. Then we can fly a wave to share our hearts today. There is a glistening to your soul, where heaven really reely knows, that within the shine, the heart will always bind, me to the world that needs my hands. I will bow and understand. Love needs me near. I will show the world there is no need to fear. 

WE are the children of this state, the consciousness of those who are running late, yet just in the nick of time to share the greatness that is thine. I send my love out to you. I send my blessings too. I send the world a hope, to help them with their chokes. And when I find my pane/pain, I will vision to gain. I will forgive this world, who needs my hands to heal. I will walk near their heels.

What is the difference between a heron and a crane?

The main difference can be seen in structure and behavior. A heron (family Ardeidae, genus Ardea) has a colied neck and straight, dagger-like bills used to capture their prey quickly in one swoop. Other members of this famliy include egrets and bitterns. The most widespread and frequently seen heron is the Great Blue Heron. They usually migrate in small flocks but are most commonly seen singly at a stream or pond edge or fields and meadows foraging for food. They tend to eat fish or small mammals. At a length of 46 inches, it is also the largest of the heron family. 

The crane (family Rallidae, genus Grus) is close in size to the heron. They are large and tend to fly and search for food in flocks. The most famous of cranes, the whooping crane, is actually rather rare with only about 200 existing in the wild. Living in small family groups year round, they nest in freshwater marshes near tree lines and winter in saltmarshes. This is one of the tallest birds in the US with a height of 52 + inches. A more common crane is the sandhill crane. Grey in color with a red patch around their eyes, it is slightly smaller than the whooping crane. The sandhill crane can be mistaken for the great blue heron. Cranes perform a large, elaborate dance during courtship that is not done by any other species. The crane's body differ in that the bill is shorter nad their neck is minus the spring like crook. Walking slowly in a rolling stroll and their neck held out straight, the crane is very different in comparison to the reserved heron.

The Great Blue Heron
Whether poised at a river bend or cruising the coastline with slow, deep wingbeats, the Great Blue Heron is a majestic sight. This stately heron with its subtle blue-gray plumage often stands motionless as it scans for prey or wades belly deep with long, deliberate steps. They may move slowly, but Great Blue Herons can strike like lightning to grab a fish or snap up a gopher. In flight, look for this widespread heron’s tucked-in neck and long legs trailing out behind.
Habitat: Marsh
Great Blue Herons live in both freshwater and saltwater habitats, and also forage in grasslands and agricultural fields, where they stalk frogs and mammals. Most breeding colonies are located within 2 to 4 miles of feeding areas, often in isolated swamps or on islands, and near lakes and ponds bordered by forests.  

Behavior: Stalking
Great Blue Herons forage, usually alone, across much of the U.S. This largest of the North American herons wades slowly or stands stock still, peering into the water for prey. In flight the Great Blue Heron folds it neck into an “S” shape and trails its long legs behind, dangling them as it prepares to land or when courting. Breeding birds nest in colonies that can number several hundred pairs, where they build stick nests in trees, on bushes, or on the ground. If you visit a colony, look for elaborate courtship and pair-bonding displays that include a ritualized greeting, stick transfers, and nest relief ceremony in which the birds erect their plumes and “clapper” their bill tips. Pairs are mostly monogamous during a season, but they choose new partners each year. Away from the colony, Great Blue Herons defend feeding territories from other herons with dramatic displays in which the birds approach intruders with their head thrown back, wings outstretched, and bill pointing skyward. Gulls and even humans may also be a target of this defensive maneuver.
More about the Blue Heron. This is a very good article visit http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/great_blue_heron/lifehistory. 
Relatives,  
Just for your information Egrets, usually smaller, are types of Heron bird species.
The "S" formation in the neck of the Heron is about the path between heaven and earth, thus through the dance and the prance, the to and fro for all to know, gifts the dreaming and the rifts, where the shallows knows the cliffs. Let us join in hands today, where alone we know the praise, for all of us are together inside our hearts, streams of loving bonds that keep us a part (united together, each a part of the great mystery of life, the collective dreaming of all things divine). 
White Buffalo Calf Woman shines for the Heron who knows the law, love at all cost to make up for the lost. We bow down and strike a pose, to stop and listen to the sacred heard/herd. We are bound to kingdom come, where the waters follow us around. And the streaming of all that sound. Bless the blue inside of you, tied to me. Love is the blessing in the breeze!
 
HERON
SYMBOLOGY; life, feminine, energy, renewal

The heron is a bird of the water and is thus associated with feminie energy and regeneration. In ancient Egypt, the heron was the first transformer of the human soul after death. Because it was seen in flight over the fields when the Nile began to flood, it was associated with fertility and the renewal of life. In the Roman epic The Aeneid, the heron is again a symbol of renewal and is depicted rising from the ashes of the burned city Ardea. Thank you http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/lovingpurelove/conversations/topics/9681

Heron Spirituality
Determination, balance, follow your own path, aids in seeing boundaries and security in exploring the mind and emotions. Heron teaches about self-esteem and balancing life's daily tasks. She helps look deeper into aspects of life which brings out innate wisdom and shows how to become self-reliant. Are you connecting to Mother Earth regularly? Heron teaches that grounding yourself in the earth, spiritual and emotional insights will become clearer. http://www.starstuffs.com/animal_totems/dictionary_of_birds.html

Heron

Be persistent! Don't let this opportunity get away from you!
-Heron

If Heron has come wading across your path;

It is time to look deeper into aspects of your life that will bring out innate wisdom and show you how to become self-reliant. Are you grounding yourself regularly? Heron teaches that grounding yourself in the earth and your spiritual beliefs will help you discover emotional insights more clearly and more quickly.

Alternatively he could be teaching you how how to become comfortable in uncertain situations and to be watchful of opportunities to arise so that you can quickly grasp them and move on.

If Heron is your Animal Totem;

You love to explore various activities and dimensions of Earth life. On the surface, this may seem like a form of dabbling, but more than likely you are wonderfully successful at being a traditional ‘Jack of all trades’.

This ability enables you to follow their own path. Most people will never quite understand the way you live because on the surface it seems to be unstructured without stability or security to it. It is, though, just a matter of perspective. There is security underneath it all, for it gives you the ability to do a variety of tasks. If one way does not work, then another will. This is something you seem to inherently know.

You do not seem to need a lot of people in your life, nor do you feel pressured to keep up with the material world, or to be traditional in your life roles. You stand out in your uniqueness, and you know how to snatch and take advantage of things and events that the average person would not even bother with.

If Heron has come to you in your dreams;

To see a heron in your dream represents self-reliance, stability, tactfulness and careful forethought. You will achieve much success through your efforts. Alternatively, dreaming of a heron signifies your ability to explore and delve into your subconscious.

Additional Associations of Heron: Aggressive, Self‐determined, Balance, Vigilance, Quiet, Power of water, The underworld, Tact, Delicacy, Renewal, Life, Transformation, Determination, Follow your own path, Helps look deeper into aspects of life, Innate wisdom, All aspects of diversity, Self-reliance, Boundaries, Exploration, Self-esteem, Balancing multiple tasks and Dignity.

Heaven's On Her Path With Crane Wings At Last

"I bow and bless the nine directions. I take the breath from the pipe for holy smoke to rise. Holiness David Running Eagle Shooting Star is beating the drum tonight" says, White Buffalo Calf Woman.

Here we flow down the road, into heaven it's snowing on the boards. Up and down on the sad roaming hills, I have much to share, just have to fill. Where I go to the show of heaven's reign, it's a whisper of love that I gain. Come and whisper heaven's on her path, the place of magic the garden will last. Thank you for all we say and dew, the place of miracles that come true. I think heaven is on the sailing breeze, because it's about you and me. Come on home, come home with our souls, here is the worship we all know. Give a hand, reprimand, all who need, then our hearts will learn to bleed.
  
Drink from this cup of God, where we sing a song and chill around the fire and dance and sing a song. Oh I am sow merry got to get along. Here a place in the magic of heaven's sane, it's coming down pouring buckets of rain. And I see the motion of time in me.  Come sail in the breeze, heaven open up for me.
  
There is a time in worth to everything, if we look about that causing factors that show lift, can you sail along with me? I want you to see, that heaven in on her wings. Come fly with me in the sailing skies today. I want to hear all you have to say and wave. We are together in the circle of the fire. Come on children look at what is wise. It's the red eyes that glow. It's the heaven that grows. It's willing to partake, heaven come on home it's not too late. Count your feet, walk your step, dance around the fire and wept. Let the crane show you, the sacred and true, we are one in the sacred view. Let's dance within. We will eliminate sin.....

A Story from Chelsea Bear, our Red Child

Well back 2 years ago in summer time I go to campground my cousin Tori goes too it is nice camp group in PA. And I was sitting down on chair staring at the sky no one was around this area. By the back of there, a trailer which has trees in some spots.  When I was looking up I saw this huge bird with long red legs and it was weird it was in slow motion it seem like move in the same spot twice slowly like it wanted me to see it.  I am wondering if it was reality type of thing or not.  I never saw this bird in that spot again. Yet I don't know if it was actually bird being.  It was long time I see. It always dumbfounded me.

White Buffalo Calf Woman Shares: Well, I can go look through your eyes (heavenly vision), or I can interpret the skies (earthly interpretation of heavenly on earth)? Which shall it be? (Heavenly vision) It's looking from the inside (gray space) rather than the outside (colored or rainbow stream). The heavenly vision looks within to outside or looks out from within. I will look through your eyes, to see what you saw to realize. Out from within, the vision to begin...

Chelsea Bear: Hmmmmies can me do both I wonder what my eyes miss or mind miss of the creature that sky knows more. Oh I see. Okies. Mhmm

White Buffalo Calf Woman (elder crystal child) Shares Vision Through the Eyes of Chelsea Bear (red child):  
he* (male principle earthly light, color or fire)
she (female principle heavenly dark, sound or water) 


Lands on a tree (the tree of life represents our heart flows up/down, around and back to us, all around or donut shape, electrifying from our hearts), I see a bird with wings spread to stop to lean on rest. Then the call is quiet, but seeking a friend, have lost the waves of the winds (off course). As he* stops and seeks, he meets a cheek (smile, upside down mile), the humble cry in the wind. He* seeks it out, maybe I can learn to the stout, to have the strength to survive (find the course where others fly). There the bird leans on, where blue (heavenly road) meets red (earthly road), when the fire comes alive (smoke rises, plumes of clouds move in the sky). Can the bird show pieces of the glimpses of the age, to make us look at the waves (sound and color)? When the seeking of the cat (stream path knowing) on the moon (reflection of our lives), the waking of the noon (rainbow clan), from within to outside (rebirthing of the soul), the beginning of pride (a light from within), how about we bow to the moon (she holds us close to ride the waves)? I look but the trees lonely in bloom (each child), take hold to the soul (awaken, wakan or holy), and the bird looks to know, which stripe do I adhere? (which color of the rainbow dew I cling) And as he* seeks, for his beak (to speak, talking, G_ah_d utterance of heavenly transmission or God), he finds that his feet will be on the red road (walking wakan or holy), where the river is wide (field of dreams through the hoops). There he whispers, rests to shine, to leap in the air and seek the wide. There he knows he can find humble (the bow of the rainbow, roll over the lesson and find buried treasure below), but stable on the path, where he* can fly in the skies. Aho, both realize (free again, our heart flies). end of story


Commentary by White Buffalo Calf Woman: It's a story about needing strength. To lean on someone who needs to embrace and be embraced. He finds strength in his rest near your sacred nest (Chelsea Bear). Then flies away, rested and willing to endure to survive. I was thinking, when I saw the bird look at his feet, you said, it was as if two, like vibrancy or a wave. I saw four feet, you said they were red. Four feet on the red road, that's pure light, a grand fire for sure!When you look at the way the Stork or Crane rests, their knees bend backwards forming a perfect right angle for lift off, but also not part (not apart or not separated) of the space (grandmother dream space) is left off (all included in the nine directions), but caudaled (on your back, folded together like a baby embraced, up and down) as in a cradle (to and fro), four directions we glow and flow.

--Chelsea Bear: Awesome. I wonder what type of bird it is though. It left me, thought I couldn't find a pick of him.
-White Buffalo Calf Woman: Stork or Crane? aho. crane family, all together relatives.
---Grandmother: ohhh... sweet Chels Bear.. you helped him on his travels. oh... I have a picture...I took it during a trip to Palm Desert, CA. Aho my granddaughters... check your email.. just sent the image on to you. It was taken at a rescue zoo in Palm Desert
--Chelsea Bear: it a crane or stork i knew it i knew it that what i thought. mhmm. okies. I guess Grandfather Standing By Me is right I need to do (dew or cling to) that poem, at some point.  I mean it in my head. I just got to write it (out). Both of you take your time I have all night lol. Thanks Grandmother Comfort in the Wind. I want to save what you type about the bird sister white buffalo calf woman. Cranes are graceful creatures it is kung fu style too. One of my favorite characters is master of that style and her name is Hok. Her real name was, I forget, but she was my favorite character being she was the only female.
-White Buffalo Calf Woman: Wow! Grandmother: It was so amazing that the legs folded forwards...as you can see.
---Grandmother Comfort in the Wind: There is one standing in the back ground (below) but you cannot see the whole bird. I do not remember what the name of the bird is though.
--Chelsea Bear: Awesome. It has big feet like i do lol
---Grandmother: you are so cute, I am sure they are just lovely
--Chelsea Bear: thanks. Aho, okie doike
-White Buffalo Calf Woman: Okay, we like to look things up, to clarify, as they are teachers (animals, plants and rocks). Oh, I know, how about spiritual crane, like totems (below information gathered by Chelsea Bear, Grandmother and Wbcw)?  Thanks for helping (searching in dictionaries handy) Holiness David Running Eagle Shooting Star our Dakota Brother.
--Chelsea Bear: You are welcome brother (to join us)?
-White Buffalo Calf Woman:  He says, Okie dokie! Wow (searching and learning), but is a stork a crane?
--Chelsea Bear:  mmhmm, crane then, we don't have storks here, or in P.A.

The Crane, Stork, and Heron are three similar birds that have similar spiritual meaning.

The Crane is considered a messenger of God, or a symbol of communion with God, or Light Beings. It represents entering higher states of consciousness. In China, it represents immortality, long life and happiness. In Ancient Greece and Rome, the Crane was sacred to Apollo and was a herald of spring. In Christianity, it represents goodness, loyalty, good order. The mysterious Ainu people of Japan perform a ritual crane dance as do the people of Korea. The crane is often seen in traditional Japanese art.

The Stork is also a solar bird, and is a destroyer of reptiles. It is associated with creation and birth and the coming of spring. In China, it also represents longevity and happiness. In Christianity, it represents chastity, purity, and piety. Seeing a stork in a place where they are rare, or dreaming of one is considered a good omen.

The Heron is another solar bird. In China and Japan, the white Heron represents Light while the crow represents darkness and together represent yin-yang. It represents regeneration and rebirth. In parts of Africa, the Heron represents communication with God.

All three of these birds represent, in one way or another, solar energy or light. They are all water birds so also represent going with the flow of life. Because all of these birds eat, among other things, snakes, frogs, and other reptiles that often represent evil or Satan, they also represent the constant struggle between good and evil.                                                                                                 Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_spiritual_meaning_of_a_crane#ixzz1wPReDgWg


What is the difference between Stork and Crane?

Except from their taxonomic divergence, other differences between cranes and storks are as follows.

• Diversity of both cranes and storks do not differ much, but there are 19 species of storks, while cranes include 15 species.
• Storks are carnivores, but cranes are more adaptive with omnivorous feeding habits.
• Storks build up large platform nests on the trees and rock ledges, but cranes build their nests on shallow waters.

• Female stork lays three to six eggs in one breeding season, while female crane (less migratory) lays only two eggs in one season.

• Storks prefer more dry areas, whereas cranes like to inhabit wet lands.

• Storks are mute (wow, silence is golden), but cranes are highly vocal.

• Most of the storks are migratory and travel long distances, while cranes could be either migratory or non-migratory.                                                                                           Read more: http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-stork-and-vs-crane/#ixzz1wPSvUDml


Facts About Cranes
Cranes are large long-necked birds that live and breed near water. Cranes that live near large bodies of water tend to be whiter in color, while cranes that live in forested areas near small lakes tends to have gray plumage. Fifteen species of cranes exist in the world, and all are at least threatened if not endangered.

Cranes are found on every continent except Antarctica and South America. No one knows why cranes do no live in South America. They have not even been found in the fossil record there. The largest species of Crane is the Sarus Crane. The Sarus crane stands at six feet tall on average with an eight-foot wing span, and is also the world’s tallest bird.

Unlike herons, for which they are often mistaken, cranes fly with their necks stretched straight. Their long beaks can be used like spears to fish or scare predators. Their call is a sort of purr, or garbled sound, not at all like a duck or goose.

Cranes can live 20 to 30 years in the wild, but in captivity they can live much longer. The oldest crane in captivity lived to be 82 years old. The two greatest threats to cranes are the destruction of their natural wetland habitats, and the capture of cranes for the illegal pet trade.

Some cranes are migratory, some stay where they are year round. All cranes engage in dancing behavior, and mating cranes are famous for their dancing displays. Dancing can be for mating, to repel a threat, or just for fun. Stick tossing is often a part of a crane dance routine.

---Grandmother:  A crane/ballerina.
-White Buffalo Calf Woman: Oh how sweet. The cranes can dance, on their tip toes and bowing with grace. Aho, what a place! Dancing in the winds.
--Chelsea: Aho thanks. I dance on my tip toes a lot, lol (lots of love). Sometimes I walk on my tippy toes and dance that way.
---Grandmother: Fun, always a ballerina then.
--Chelsea: mhmmms. lol. Clumsy ballerina. lol (lots of love).

Crane Wisdom
Cranes have long been associated with royalty, balance, grace, longevity and wisdom and cleverness. The crane is a prehistoric animal and looks like one, yet is also very beautiful and graceful. Cranes will often be seen standing in shallow water on one leg, and their beautiful dancing also speaks to their incredible sense of balance and grace

When a crane comes into your life as a spirit teacher or totem you are being asked to use your past as a source of strength in the present. Cranes appear in the lives of people who are well served by some degree of secrecy in their lives. The crane teaches; keeping your own counsel, protection of family, and balance in life above all else. A crane totem is also a harbinger of long life and success. People with crane medicine are more revered by others than they imagine, and have long, successful lives. They are protective, wise, and gracious. They choose their battles carefully, choosing quiet wisdom and privacy over aggression. An encounter with a crane is a powerful experience. You are being asked to look inward, show fairness to all persons, and protect your wisdom while sharing it in appropriate ways. In short, you are being shown the way to balance and good fortune.

The crane is a powerful and auspicious totem in almost all cultures. One exception is Celtic Britain, where cranes were associated with death, treachery, war, and evil women (all traits of heavenly, but not yet purified through the cleansing of fire or holy water). The crane was one of the various shapes taken by the King of the Celtic Underworld, Annwn. In China and Japan, cranes were associated with longevity, immortality, and prosperity. In Japan, because of their permanent pair bonds, cranes were often featured on bridal kimonos. Sweet cakes to be served at Japanese weddings are often baked in the shape of cranes, for good luck. As a character in Aesop’s fables, the crane is often portrayed as a problem solver and a wise teacher. In one story, a crane retrieves a fish from a long narrow bottle by dropping stones in it, one by one, until the fish is reached easily. A popular Native American story features a pet crane that saves its owners from destruction at enemy hands, giving its own life in the process.


Crane Dreamtime
An encounter with Crane in Dreamtime is a powerful sign of love, happiness, and good will among family and friends. Crane medicine also brings long life, good health and a deeper awakening on a spiritual level. Crane spirit helps us to speak our truth as we live with courage and integrity. The lesson is to wait in complete balance, as we remain ever focused on our path of destiny. The key is to soar as ONE with the wind regardless of the journey's way.

Solitude, justice, longevity, independent, intelligent, and vigilant that what a crane is in totem. Longevity and Focus. And to the ancient Chinese, the Crane was a symbol of justice and longevity. A Crane totem entering your life could signal recovery of what was lost to you. Crane people have a sense of secrecy and protectiveness. Crane reflects the importance of not dividing your attention between more than one project rather focusing on just the more important one.

Mothers with Crane totems do better as stay-at-home moms rather than trying to juggle raising a family and work. If this is impossible, ask Crane to help you accomplish both. Crane can teach you how to celebrate your creative resources and keep them alive, by having the proper focus in your life.
