2024 May 30 ProMotion

ProMotion. I don’t know why autocorrect is capitalizing the M on that word, but I’m loving it. Tonight was the eighth grade promotion. They are moving to high school. The eighth graders thanked their teachers, and the speech a student did for me was really special. Since I’m not coming back, I guess I’m getting promoted too. 

Pro = forward            Motion = movement

I’m moving forward.

When I go outside to close up the chicken coop at night, I always take a moment of gratitude. My friend Angela inspired me to do that. Tonight I looked up and saw the silhouettes of the trees against a deep dark sky. The Big Dipper was perfectly framed. Then all of a sudden three lines of white glided in formation through it. It took me a second, then I realized they were herons. WOW. Then, I look again and two more pass. 

Herons are moving forward.

I keep looking up wondering if herons migrate and all of a sudden a shooting star went right past the Big Dipper. It wasn’t the regular streak of light, bough that’s special too -it had a bright glow then it faded and moved. AMAZING. 

Stars are moving forward. 

We all keep moving forward.
