"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

Soaring High.....Carrying Hope and Love


A strong,emotional week for me....in every way. Many of my "Blogging Family" are going through intense times... (you know who you are).... but, ALL of you know how much my "Blogging Family" means to a girl who is, for all intensive purposes, alone in life....
Anyway, yesterday, I was enroute to a job interview....and as I walked down the hill, who flew almost directly over my head....but a wonderful Blue Heron. (Not the one pictured above....as I did not have my camera with me.....)
He WAS in flight though....and I had to stop and take him all in....the huge wings, gracefully flapping, the long legs, straight back as he soared through the sky. It was a breathtaking moment....(rememember I live in a City....) and it infused me with hope and strength.
And you know, I KNOW you can all relate to this moment in my life - because you are ALL so wonderful.
For those of you who are struggling....know I am there with you, sending strength and love.
And, of course, I send each and every one of you my love and gratitude because I have "met" you and we have become more-than-friends.
Always,
♥ Robin ♥

  3. I think the wonderful thing is that you took the moment to SEE the Heron - to watch it fly and to see the hope in the image. That's whats wonderful

  4. Sending you love and hugs right now. Later on today I will sit outside and write to you in response to the most wonderful, love filled note I have received from a never "alone" girl.
    Not for as long as there is a breath in my body I will accept you are alone, because I call you my friend and there are not many people who can say I call them that. I hope a ray of sunshine dances around you all day. Hugs from here, my dear gift from another dear friend :)

  13. Robin! I love blue herons so much! They are my special bird. I live near a creek, and sometimes when i drive over the little bridge I see one fishing. They keep very still, and they seriously look like lawn ornaments! LOL! I surprised one out our back door on morning. He was snacking on the goldfish in my little pond. lol! I am hoping that you are feeling better, and I am sending you hugs! Your friend, Pam xox!!

  16. Pam...... I had no idea you loved Blue Herons so much....it warms my heart..... they are so GORGEOUS..... but darn, they are carnivors... and, it makes me want to interefere when they are after baby duckings or fishees... Nature CAN be so conflicting...

    Thank you for sharing this with me....it means a LOT. I am so happy we have become friends!

    Love (and Skellies),

    ♥ Robin ♥

  19. Willow.... every day I wake up to cols and fog, I think of you, knowing you would revel in this climate. I DO love cold weather, but I get enough of it in the Winter....and to have an April, May June, July and most likely an August in grey cold is hard..... but, hey, I live here, so must make do.....

    Send me few sunbeams, ok?

    Love,

    ♥ Robin ♥

  23. Hi dear Robin!

    What a beautiful post and lovely image of a heron!
    I am a believer in signs and this is a good one.
    Just went through all your posts I have been missing and I feel your pain, but also your optimism!
    Girl you will get through all of this!
    I really hope I will land in SF soon and who knows we could meet in real......
    Until then a big virtual hug from me and you will be in my thoughts!

    Love

  24. ...what is that saying? Hope is a bird with featherssss? Hoping for you...

    Oh, this will make you laugh, in Oregon some call Blue Herons 'Shitaquarts'...comes from being on the river in a raft when one flys over and well...'goes a quart'.
