* Angel Totem
The tale of the traveling feather began years ago. Way Back When on the day Louise Watson, R.N. crossed over. There were only two students in Tai Chi class that day. Then, after class, a small white downy feather, soft as angora, floated down from the ceiling? It descended gently but swayed to and fro, back and forth a bit, rather than straight down. We three watched it, transfixed. I let the small feather settle gently fitting into the palm of my hand.
"It's Louise! She's Here!"
Next the feather was shared by me and Dolores, a friend and Tai Chi student. Neither Dolores or I have the feather. "She's in good hands," commented Dolores.
Recently the feather traveled to another friend, Judy J. After telling Judy the feather story, it appeared at her work, on the floor! She picked it up the small white feather and wears it in her work badge.
A bit over a week ago, Linda, after cleaning her living room, spotted something small and white. She went over and noticed a feather on the floor! She picked it up. Linda knew the feather tale and felt Angel Louise is near! How can this happen?
This is the continuing Tale of the Traveling Feather....
Where will the feather/feathers appear next?
Key Word "Angel"

A friend and I studied my St. Michael The Archangel abstract painting, noticing many images and faces inside the clouds and light. I photographed close up sections of the painting. None of them turned out but this one. There appears to be an angel with one blue wing (as you view on your left) and one green wing (right view). Looking closer there may be an angel with white filmy wings pointing more downward rather than spread wide as in the colored wings. The head of the Angel, besides human, also shows owl and wolf cub. One time I saw a person practicing Tai Chi and another time Yoga in the shadows and light. Fun with Imagination~

Part Two, The King's Mysterious Journey Continues:
Who is the King? Where does he live? Where is he going?
In the first experimental writing post * Write This Way ( June 2015), I opened a book, *The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, and read one sentence.
"He was really a king. He must be disguised to avoid encounters with thieves."
Then wrote for 10 furious minutes with "no thought, no plot."
Summary of Part 1: The King Appears
The king feels danger, alone his saddles his horse and charges down the mountain. He stops to ponder. He takes his sword and scrolls and sends the horse back up the mountain. Then, at dusk, he enters a dark forest. He feels guided by a strange glow. He follows it. After sunrise the next morning, he comes to the edge of the forest. He peeks through the mist to see:
"....a boat waiting there...."
This time, (rule breaker), I didn't use a book inspiration sentence, but wrote from incoming images, Ready Set Write for 10 minutes:
The King sees the rowboat. The empty boat has no oars. He gets into the boat anyway. He will let the gentle current carry him downstream at its own pace. He feels safe in the boat, almost like a quiet cave, a cocoon of thought, contemplation, intuition and mystery. He gently feels the boat move into the water's current. The King is happy and at peace. He feels the security of his protecting sword. His sacred scrolls of learning and vision give him confidence. He meditates while he floats along. It feels good to meditate, free from agenda or intention of outcome. The King Relaxes.
He now remembers he hasn't eaten anything since yesterday. He feels the tug of hunger, but he has already packed a flask of mountain spring water and handfuls of nuts and berries. He slowly savors the simple meal.
Further on down the gentle blue waters of the river, the King feels a cool, almost chilly, breeze. He covers his head with protective clothing and warms his neck. It is early twilight now. He looks into the stream and sees a mysterious object in the now darker blue water. He feels blue light streaming in all around him. The King squints his eyes and sees a large smooth clear quartz artifact looking back at him? What is it? He feels vibrations and communication emitting from it? He hears a audible HUM, the Mantra of the Throat Chakra (color blue), the energy center of truth and communication.
He does not touch the object as he passes by in the boat. The King lets the big blue water guide him gently. He looks back at the crystal. He feels a smile.
Darkness is slowly approaching, where will the King find refuge? He hears and sees in his waking vision a slab of calligraphy, *The Han Shan Temple poem radiates inside him, from the Tang Dynasty. He imagines singing, "Do you know the way to cold mountain temple?" Darkness nears, golden light pinpoints reflect in the water. The king hears the temple bells calling. The King sees other boats near him, some with many passengers. People are coming out of the temple and boarding waiting boats, others are stepping off their boats to enter the temple. Why?
What Will The King Choose?
Coming Soon Preview of next part of The King's Journey:
Sentence from The Alchemist:
" 'What is it you're looking for?' asked the old merchant."
