Great Blue Heron Spirit

I am still at the coast.  As I was sitting here, heart swirling with grief, Great Blue Heron Spirit came to visit me outside my window!!

She perched on the spruce and I felt a deep sense of comfort and was instantly filled with a great sense of awe.  I thought of Jeanie and how she is FREE of her diseased body.  She has grown wings and has taken flight.

Rick took this photo a few moments ago:

Jenelle sent me this beautiful poem:

i was dead
i came alive
i was tears
i became laughter

all because of love
when it arrived
my temporal life
from then on
changed to eternal

Jeanie Urbano  March 24, 1955-July 5, 2011

I will continue to post photos of/or in honor of Jeanie until her memorial service which I think is on July 16.  I’m waiting for confirmation on that date so I can book our flights to Chicago.
