According to Buddha
Remain soft-spoken and forgiving, even when reason is on your side.
’cause I’ve always had a soft spot for repetition

When you find feathers upon your path it could be taken to mean that you are on a higher spiritual path (whether you accept it or not), and it may be a sign of encouragement as you philosophically travel on this path.
Thank you kindly Urban…feathers have always been fascinating to me…on whatever path I’m on…I collected them when I was a girl…and I’ve often dreamt I can fly…they are magic to me…and soft…and I work at staying soft and open hearted 🤓☺️ I appreciate the connections you share with me Urban ~ sending you all good things for a joyful day ☺️🤓 hedy ✌️

all in its ‘right’ time Hedy
yes yes…what is time after all 🤓✌️☺️
Just found your site. You’ve been around for while…2011.
Marvelous blog. Wish I had seen it sooner. I don’t ‘practice’ Buddhism but, I have been a fan of Alan Watts for years.
Beautiful photography! ❤
Thank you kindly for your comments ☺️ appreciated yes I began photographing with intention when I started sloppy 🤓 I love my little black box and I never expected people to follow when I began so I’ve thoroughly enjoyed composing my posts 2X a week….it’s good for me. I will check your work out as we’ll compose a beautiful day ~ smiles Hedy 😀💫
The feather studies are full of tenderness, Hedy. It appears that you were immersed in it all! How fitting the “quote” is, too.
well thank you…yes they are soft…and yes it’s been inside time with these brutal cold temperatures…-30 to -35 isn’t cutting it for being outside but soon it will be spring…and now all those nasty beetles are dead so our trees will be happy ☺️🤓✌️ I’ll write you yet Lynn…being a 👵🏻 is a full time job 😂 😊
No problem! Plans are being made, a few days are filling up but we have some flexibility in each place. So many choices, it’s insane. If talking is better, email me your info and I’ll call. Stay warm!
Okay Lynn just off to Canada Games opening I’m around Sunday and Monday so we could chat if that works…I’ll email you my number 🤓☺️👍 perfect! So fun to plan and I love those feelings of anticipation 💫
Love the black and white photographs, they really bring out the pattern in the feathers!
humble thank you Bertie and Croc’ appreciate you saying…I agree ☺️ they are so lovely…compose a beautiful day ~ smiles hedy ☺️✌️
Superb sequence Hedy. Beautiful compositions. 🙂
humble thank you Jospeh I appreciate you saying…feels nice to read your comments…☺️🤓💫
Especially when reason is on your side. 🙂
Great feather work.
humans do not reason entirely from facts…logic is always curious…and sense making can seem necessarily troubling…
feathers are beautiful ☺️💫
Yes, they are. Come to think of it, such a functional “tool” made to fly in the lightest way are so delicate and beautiful. Which proves if need be, that practical can lead to Beauty. A small brick in the construction of sense?

🤔🤓☺️✌️

The comments on the feather post were closed, so I’m commenting here . . . actually, suggesting: you should check the legality of picking up feathers you find.
You could find yourself liable for a large fine. Do a search on picking up feathers and also the 2018 Migratory Bird Act (or treaty).

Okely Dokely.
If also mentioned it because -from the comments- some commenters didn’t seem to be aware of the law. If they are your friends, you might want to let them know.
