Animal symbolism
Heron
What the tradition holds
Read as patience and self possession: standing still on purpose while everything moves.
Where that reading came from
A heron hunts by waiting motionless for minutes at a time and then striking once. The symbol is the hunting method.
Herons appear near water on a schedule. If you started walking a new route by a river, that is the more likely explanation and still worth writing down.
