The Great Blue Heron holds special meaning in Native medicine, where it represents self-reflection:
As it stands very still in the water, it sends reflections of itself to itself, providing insight into one’s unique purpose in life, mirroring ‘what is’, and inviting quests for understanding how its own path fits within the whole.
The heron symbolizes the journey of self-realization, beginning with the development of the skills to build inner strength and achieve certainty of purpose, the courage to delve deep, and the resulting joy of discovery - of awakening.

"The apocalypse is finished, today it is the precession of the neutral, of forms of the neutral and of indifference...all that remains, is the fascination for desertlike and indifferent forms, for the very operation of the system that annihilates us. Now, fascination (in contrast to seduction, which was attached to appearances, and to dialectical reason, which was attached to meaning) is a nihilistic passion par excellence, it is the passion proper to the mode of disappearance. We are fascinated by all forms of disappearance, of our disappearance. Melancholic and fascinated, such is our general situation in an era of involuntary transparency." (Jean Baudrillard - Simulacra and Simulation, On Nihilism trans. 1995)

"praise, I do not reproach, [nihilism's] arrival. I believe it is one of the greatest crises, a moment of the deepest self-reflection of humanity. Whether man recovers from it, whether he becomes master of this crisis, is a question of his strength!"
(Friedrich Nietzsche, Complete Works Vol. 13)
