Inspired by a persistent white feather, which came in not once, but twice, just before Christmas 2023, when my husband was heading out our backdoor. And the answer to, “Why is there a feather in your flower arrangement?
The Feather
She opened the door.
the snow was deep,
the air cold, but not a breath of wind.
And yet, it blew in…
landed at her feet —
a small, delicate, white feather…
She reached down,
gently picked it up,
cradled it in the palm of her hand.
Then, with a soft breath,
sent it back outside,
only to have it land at her feet again.
She smiled, looked up,
and quietly whispered,
“Okay then, come on in, join us.”
