feathers
.
We are feathers
floating aimlessly
on the whim of destiny’s breeze
fated to glide on uncontrollable
currents of air
that propel us as they please
Perhaps one day
fate will let a random wind
take me where I never flew
blowing me in the direction
that eventually leads me
closer to you
Beautiful in everyway I can describe 💞

Thank you for all your visits to Strands… (I know that isn’t where my icon goes).
I found a back way to see who likes my posts. I can’t see Likes on my posts because I don’t allow them (long story)… anyway. I’ll bookmark your place if I haven’t already and will try to visit more often.
I like this post because I actually collect feathers. I feed the birds in my yard and think often about where some of those who migrate go… like the great blue heron.
Cheers, Jules

I have some feathers from places I’ve been in a jar on my patio. One jar is just for the feathers from my yard. I probably ought to wash them in some way… and let them air dry. Maybe make some kind of hanging art with them. I have a few though that I’ve glued onto a straw sun hat.
WP and I get along best when they stop trying to change things. I’ve tried looking at the forums… but usually (maybe since I have free sites) I don’t find much support or help.
Have you seen now that they have started this new thing …how many posts in a row… but started it in the middle of the month. And it isn’t even accurate (since I have more ‘in a row’ since before they started counting).

Oh. I have been so busy I didn’t even realize it. I know one blogger who has posted about five years in a row. Everyday without missing a day.
LikeLiked by 1 person
I did that… until I had a twit who wouldn’t leave me alone so I had to shut that site down… And then on Strands I removed this same person five times… maybe they got the hint? I hope so.
WP now allows you to remove followers… but they can follow again and again , once they realize ‘they’ aren’t doing so. And mostly only relatively new (like within the last three or four months) – not some of the oldest ones (why I don’t know). I tend to not want followers who are say selling things like real estate, tools or services that have nothing to do with writing.
A personal quirk. If they read my about pages they might not follow in the first place. I tend to bookmark… And I try very hard to respond in some way to those who do comment on one of my posts.
