The sticky white feather

In 2022 from summer until December, there was a white feather on our cherry laurel hegde outside in the backyard. It was across from the living room window, positioned in such a way that I could always look at it during our meal times.

The feather stuck on the leaf for many months – even during storms and heavy downpours.

It was like a lovely message everyday. Something along the lines of a comforting “hello” from spirit. Or like metaphor of resilience. No matter whether there were heavy rains or storms, the feather would always greet me.

How did it stick so well to the leaf? Was it glued to it somehow?

In December 2022, just one day before the gardener would come to cut the hedges, I went outside, took this picture, and examined what made the feather stick.

It wasn’t glue or something sticky. It turned out that the quill of the feather got stuck in the finely serrated margin of the cherry laurel leaf. But even though that was a very natural explanation, it seemed like something unusual and special to me. Like something which was arranged from the forces beyond the veil.
