As the name reveals, “Ascension” symbolizes the rising to a higher level. Growing spiritually, realizing what truly matters and being able to function in different environments with multiple skills. I admire those abilities in the Anhinga (aka Snake Bird). Anhingas are not only able to walk on land and fly, but are also excellent divers. Watching these birds swim under water is quite surreal. It seems as if they have mastered all the elements with ease. I too want to master the world which surrounds me in the way the Anhinga does.
