I was outside stretching my legs when I heard it: the unique and captivating whirring sound of Sandhill Cranes migrating north. It’s the first time I have heard it this year.
What a welcome sound! A harbinger of Spring, for sure.
I love the cranes, although I don’t see much of them because they just pass through here on their way to their nesting grounds, north of here, in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
I love their sound. If I am really fortunate, when I look up in the sky towards the sound, I can just barely see little glints or sparkles of light, dancing against the deep blue sky, in a circular pattern.
This rite of Spring never fails to take my breath away.
Cranes symbolize many things in mythology. Among them are longevity and happiness.
What is the dance of happiness that is emerging from within you?
