Book Review: Heron Dance Journal by Holly Van Houten Our friend and former board member, Maureen Draper, told us about this great publication, Heron Dance Journal, and I wanted to spread the word. This beautiful quarterly publication includes watercolors by artist and founder Roderick McIver together with interviews, quotes, poetry and essays. McIver describes the goal of the publication: Heron Dance explores the human connection to the natural world and the human search for meaning. How do we live in a crazy world with peace, joy and balance? Heron Dance proposes that some important answers lie in gratitude, generosity of spirit, a relationship with wild nature and in a creative life that contributes something of beauty to the human or natural world. For me, I find it a breath of fresh air to take a few moments with the journal. It reminds me ultimately of why we do the hard work of advocacy, to preserve precious open lands where we can enjoy and appreciate the beauty of nature and feel refreshed. I hope you will explore the offerings of Heron Dance on its website www.herondance.org or subscribe to its free weekly eNewsletter. I think you'll also feel renewed and ready to work on behalf of our open lands! Published Spring 2007 in Green Footnotes. Page last updated September 13, 2010. |
