i’ve never noticed lots of feathers flying and laying around. but all last summer, jen would come back from her walk with a feather or 2. and this summer, almost every time i go outside, i find a feather or 2.

i always pick it up and think about who might be watching out for me. then stick it in my pocket for safe keeping. later, i’ll find another feather and then wonder if it’s a new one or just fell out of my pocket! but i always pick it back up either way.

the neighbor kids have noticed that i’m always finding feathers and now they’ll show me the feathers that they find. and sometimes i even get an art installation!

no matter what or who these feathers are, they are a reminder to me that i’m on the right path and connected to others around me.

when’s the last time you found a feather?
