Living Metaphor

Having the wing-span of almost 3 feet, the ivory-billed woodpecker was a beauty that once thrived in the hardwood forest of the Southern U.S. Native Americans believed the bird’s ivory bill had magical powers.  They used it as currency and made it into crowns worn by the great warriors.  Sadly, the species has been thought extinct since 1944, when the last of its kind disappeared.  But a month ago, conservationist announced a great reversal of fortunes; several ivory-bills have recently been spotted in the Arkansas woods.  The metaphor for events unfolding in your own life might be.
