The T​hin Places Project

My beloved dog Reggie died very unexpectedly last year. We had been living in Seattle at the time where there are many crows. After Reggie died I noticed a lamp post out my window where a crow often was perching. I thought of the crow as the “ Reggie Crow” watching us. I continued to find tiny crow feathers which I always took as a sign from Reggie.
 
We moved to Connecticut but I still thought of Reggie every day. I needed to clear my head one day and decided to wander out to the backyard while listening to my playlist on headphones. I saw one tiny gray feather the same size as the crow feathers I kept finding in Seattle. Suddenly the song stopped and I heard a rustling of leaves. When I followed the sound I found a pile of tiny gray feathers. The music suddenly began again and the lyrics to the song were “We all have wings but we don’t know why.”
