The wild swan doesn’t explain itself.
It just moves—
quiet,
strong,
free.

In old Celtic stories,
swans show up as something more.
Not just birds,
but signs.
Of something deeper.
Something sacred.

They glide between worlds.
Seen and unseen.
Spirit and body.
Now and not-yet.

The Celts got it—
that there’s more going on
than what we can touch.
More happening beneath the surface.

The wild swan invites us—
to remember the mystery.
To feel the pull
of the divine
in ordinary things.

It says,
“Don’t rush.
Don’t try to figure it all out.
Just be here.
And know that even in the silence,
you are held.”

Because sometimes
the most spiritual moments
are the ones where we simply notice—
how beautiful,
how wild,
how full of God
the world already is.
