Captured on Mother’s Day, this image of a Canadian goose sheltering its goslings under its wing resonates deeply with the values of care, protection, and the strength found in the bonds of family and community. The glow surrounding the embrace symbolizes the light and warmth that guardians provide — not only through their protection but through their presence, guiding those in their care through challenges and uncertainty.
In the natural world, guardianship is a responsibility shared by all beings, seen in the way animals protect their young and the way families nurture each other. This photograph reflects that connection — the bond between parent and child, and the enduring strength found in the act of protecting and guiding. “Under Guardian’s Best Wing” is a reminder of the deep responsibility we hold to care for those entrusted to us, just as we are cared for by those who came before us. It speaks to the timeless circle of guardianship, where the light of protection is passed from one generation to the next.
