Holding life gently like feathers in the breeze

I was walking through the park today, and a clasp of feathers floated down from the trees I was walking under and landed right in front of me.  5 white feathers, all connected, just beautiful as they drifted down on the breeze.

Naturally, I picked them up.  I carried them gently homeward, smiling inwardly and probably outwardly too.  The feather is a symbol of freedom and transcendence, and it was good to have a reminder of the interconnectedness of nature as I walked.

My smile became a full bellied laugh when just steps from home a sudden whoosh of wind lifted the feathers out of my cradling hands and carried them off.  What a delightful reminder that nothing lasts!  I watched them dance off down the street, clearly not destined to adorn my mantlepiece after all.

As I look to picking up new clients once again and returning to practice after my period of maternity, I am excited and open to learn what life has in store for me next. I will be holding life gently like feathers in the breeze.
