it's august and the cycle is apparent once again. although it is hot and harvest is high, i have already turned my attention to stacking firewood and the things associated with the change of season. for the first time i paused to consider these moultings as simply second chances, ways to improve selves. maybe they are left hanging around as reminders of that, reminders are like gifts.
to my delight, my copy of India's new book arrived yesterday, the words choosing and caring really stood out to me for some reason. i think of these two words as describing much of India's influence on us all. the book is stunning, no surprise. the surprise? well, she offered mention but gee-wiz... i am more than honored to be presented with a community of such amazing folks in the beautiful gallery section of this book. i am quite touched.
and so it was quite a day, for then a small envelope and the first 2 magic feathers for the Magic Feather Project! i will be posting the feathers and their little stories as i receive them, in separate posts, here (listed in the sidebar under gathering feathers) , on facebook, and on a separate page with a list of contributors which i will get to soon, just to keep track...
yesterday was a day of many gifts.
and look at this....
