When the Blue Heron Flies

by Melanie Svoboda

“The road to God
is not long.
You need not cross the sea
to find Divinity.
You need not trek across vast plains
or barren deserts,
nor hack through dense jungles.
You need not scale jagged mountains
jutting into the skies.

No, you have only to pause
and be still.
Then take that single step
into the deep center
of who you are.”
