Some people have totemic animals or familiar spirits. By request from a friend from my own home state of Illinois, we return to the Great Blue Heron. As an animal totem, the Heron is found in many Native American myths and stories. It’s a good luck omen and a symbol of wisdom and patience. I found this reflection on the Great Blue Heron on http://native-american-totems.com/:

Blue Heron comes to us encouraging us to dive into the world of our feelings and to look for our truth. If we only look at ourselves in a negative frame we never understand our true potential or recognize the opportunities that come our way. We don’t want to get stuck in the notion of self-importance. We should not think of ourselves as having little or no worth nor should we wallow in self-pity. Heron says to reflect on your feelings and get to know ourselves intimately to find our true calling.

The Sacred Waterbird tells us not to blame others or point a negative finger at the situations of life. This majestic bird says to claim responsibility for our own actions and to face the enemy within us all. We need to find a balance to our inner truths, work on our inner weaknesses, and develop our strengths to know our own spiritual essence. This takes courage to make this journey because it isn’t easy to look at ourselves in an honest way.


Please send me your recovery animal by PM or post about them here. I'll include one of your suggestions with the roster every day all week!

24 more for me, please, 1.37 am Tuesday morning. Got up to have a drink, coughing. Thought I'd just have a quick glance, see how my friends, old and new, are doing.

Wow. Thank you for the reflection on the Blue Heron. It was just what I needed to hear today. I am looking for my truth....dealing with all the emotions of early recovery.

Signing up for another 24 here in the Chi at 7:47pm CST.
