Whooping Crane Family-Part III on Video!

My friend, Jeff Huxman, videographer and co-founder of SolTerra Communications, caught this amazing video footage of the whooping crane family and has allowed me to post it here for you. Shortly after the video begins you will hear a 'guard call' or alert. Then watch what happens!

  4. Hi Monika,
    Thanks for your comment. They were very attentive parents, constantly foraging and offering the chick food, watching over his every movement. The only time they stopped to rest was when he was sleeping.

For the Love of It...

...the sage sees heaven reflected in Nature as in a mirror, and he pursues this Art, not for the sake of gold or silver, but for the love of the knowledge which it reveals.
Sendivogius (1750)

Your Uncapped Creativity...

Your Uncapped Creativity...
"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action; and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. You must keep that channel open. It is not for you to determine how good it is, nor how valuable. Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is for you to keep it yours, clearly and directly." ----the great dancer, Martha Graham
