Crane

I saw a beautiful crane hanging out in the bushes while I was waiting for someone to show up at the open house for 'my' new house this past week.   It was just the crane and I present. 

I wanted to look up what 'Crane' meant from the book "Animal Speak" by Ted Andrews. There is more, however, below are the descriptions that spoke to me. 

..."it could very well reflect that you are about to recover what had almost become extinct within you."

"This can reflect a new sense of protectiveness, or even a need for secrecy in regard to something new you have given birth to or are about to give birth to."

..."it will reflect the importance of not dividing your attention--especially in rearing your children, be they your actual children or symbolic children, as in the case of special projects."

"One of the most remarkable aspects of this bird is its loud whooping sound.  Its haunting tone is reminiscent of a primal celebration over birth.  The crane can teach you how to celebrate your creative resources and keep them alive, regardless of the conditions in which they are manifest, both by simply having the proper focus in your life."

May you never give up [until you are truly ready to] in achieving whatever your heart desires.
