The Great Blue Heron uses the laws of nature to lift up to blue skies. This land/water species adapted to the marshland habitat millions of years ago. Now, too many buildings erected for ocean views are crowding out the wetlands. Sharing this space allows the Great Blue Heron to continue to soar. Sustainability allows this land/water resource to continue for generations to come. Free services; water filtration, flood control, and prevention of saltwater intrusion are provided by the wetlands. It is much more cost-effective to keep the wetlands than pay for the invaluable services that they provide. Colorful art forms entice the visual learner to discover more. A cast of living things are the dwindling population of the Monarch butterfly, amazing adaptations of the Red-eyed Tree frog, wild horses galloping the grassy plains amid pollution from fracking, feminization of the male species, the synchronous relationship of the horseshoe crab and the Red-knot seabird and mindful humans around the world. Illustrations are followed by an inspiring concept worthy of right action. Mindfulness can help find resolutions that are always available, though not always easy. Together the challenges of restoring the Earth systems can be met with healthy choices to recreate natural harmony.
