I have felt lucky over the summer for coming across a lot of feathers. About a month ago I watched a beautiful gray feather float down from the sky in a grocery store parking lot. It landed next to me. Since that moment I have been attuned to feathers. When I come across one now, I feel as if I’ve encountered a treasure. Is this a treasure? I suppose that’s in the eye of the beholder. The way you perceive is ultimately up to you. You can see lack or you can see plenty. This mindset will follow you in every encounter all day long, as mindsets tend to do.
I wonder now, how many times feathers have been in my peripheral and I’ve overlooked them… Not any more!
My kids are in on the game too. Last week my daughter found a feather on the playground at recess and saved it in her pocket to give me after school. Two days later my son brought one inside that he found while sweeping the entry path to our home. I’d say the look on their faces in delivery and the full heart I felt in receiving these tokens definitely puts feathers (or anything you tune in to) in the realm of treasures!

Nature’s treasure’s are a BIG deal in this house. From bones, to rocks, feathers and bugs – they are treasures! They decorate our house like confetti and I LOVE IT! Simple pleasures and being aware of what you are seeing while you are walking or sitting.

HAHAhahaha – well we have a bug vacuum so that the kids can watch them in the observation chamber and then release – but we have all sorts of things that can appear including scorpions and brown recluse!! Some treasures I like to have close and some I like to admire from a good distance.

You’re always a good sport! 😘 Ahhhh, laughter. Thankful for that and the good sense to view scorpions and brown recluse from afar 😉 –
and that you’re not nailing them to the wall, or something.

Oh! That reminds me – mitsy jonkheer in wilm (the artist I ran across in that coffee shop who invited me to her camp for kids to see what it was about) had feathers hanging in glass spheres – she said she picked them up at a craft store – weren’t you looking for those in Santa Fe? Bet I could touch base with her again and ask more – I have some other questions for her as well…
