Whisper Soft

   As I was out wandering about the place earlier, I noticed something falling from the sky.  I watched as a feather slowly, slowly descend from somewhere in the treetops.  Then, it softly landed at my feet.  It is a gorgeous feather.  One side of the shaft is brilliant white and the other is a soft grey and it is as downy soft as a whisper.   I am not certain what type bird lost this feather so I figure it is just an "angel feather".  It is one of those "signs" that tells you things are all going to be alright.   We all need that right now...at least, I do.

  There are many different beliefs of what a feather symbolizes but most have good connotations.  A good many do refer to angels or those of our past.  Some say that finding a feather means that angels are near and are protecting the finder.  Others say that a loved one from your past is paying a visit.   White feathers supposedly symbolize purity, peace and understanding while grey represents enlightenment, harmony and wisdom.  The two together is a perfect sign.  Whether you believe in signs or not, is none of my business but you do have to admit with the state of the world today, it is nice to find something that talks of peace, harmony and wisdom.
