~ In a great tissue of light and sparkling ripples of water came the bird. In the midst of this great moving light was the Cormorant. There was a softness, a coolness to the air. There was a beauty of mists and of rainbows. This great god of birds, this god of the waters became apparent. He comes flying and tips the water with his wings. The air fills with birds. They glide and dip and swim. There is a silver light on their feathers. A radiance is around this bird who has authority over all birds of the waters. ~
