To Practice Loving-Kindness

Stand by a window at #feathers_fall: choose one flake, one crystalline grain. Follow its path to the sidewalk, the street, the car rooftop, the heaped garbage, the dog’s nose. And wish for whatever it touches to be feel only softness in our cold, cruel world. #vss365

Let the darkness frame your face
And give the truth some room
#Feathers_fall like hammers on
The dark side of the moon

And in your breathless rev'rie, let
The brighter side peek through
Spin around in flighted fall
Until we meet our due

Feathers fall like hammers on
The dark side of the moon

After falling leaves layer over the last blooms, #feathers_fall spreads its white cover over the Earth, painting ice flowers on my window.

I watch them blossoming while I dream of Spring sprouting new life to grow into Summer's full bloom.

cold #feathers_fall drift
ankle deep in this despair
the night draped in white
my breath freezes in my lungs
I'm too tired to go on.

From the #vss365 jukebox for #feathers_fall, this is Light as a Feather by Norah Jones from the album The Fall (2009).

Behind the russet grins, a tattered white chicken stood where #feathers_fall. As Ghyll's head slowly cleared, the many foxes coalesced into a single creature, and the lone bird multiplied into many clucks.

"A fox!" The earthworm sighed with relief.

"Six chickens!" Gulped the glowworm.

Its snowing. I’m staying in to read. I’m such a book-worm. I’m not as bad this couch-potato. Smoking his coffin-nails. At least the ankle-biters are enjoying the snow. I’ll be out in the summer, walking in the woods. I’m a bit of a tree-hugger, me.

stealing kisses
between eager steps
watch the #feathers_fall
with each article of clothing
discarded in heat
leave nothing but the pearls
around my neck

and what occurs
beyond the threshold?

only the darkness can see

"I'm a musician."

"Anything yours I may have heard?"

"'The Ale Is Strong At The #Feathers_fall'? No?"

"Hm. No, sorry."

Alex wondered, not for the last time, if she had again landed in the wrong universe.

Antigravity, that was the best way he could describe it. Untethered by the love that had burst into their lives. Marriage, a house, kids: the holy trinity that seemed baptisms.

But, suddenly, a vacuum. Her parting message: #feathers_fall as fast as a leaden heart.

Life at the top of the Reaches is wonderful. Or so I've heard.
None of us would know. We don't have the means to soar up there, not like the aristocrats who roost there.
Soilbound, we are. We watch #feathers_fall and dream of what it would be like to bask in the sunlight.

To combat boredom, the ultra wealthy created a new way to #gamble: breeding polychrome plumed birds, shooting them in mid-air and betting on the order in which the #feathers_fall
When the hungry mob stormed the compound, they didn't waste time betting how the billionaire would fall

He turned wordlessly back towards the door and calmly returned to his Hovobike, taking a second to watch two raven #feathers_fall to the street and frown at them. The only superstition he held was that ravens were an ominous sign of bad things to come. And here they were. #vss365

"Hatson,the #feathers_fall is reminiscent of our case"

"How so,Sholmes?"

"It blankets the scene of the crime, masking evidence"

"We're chasing a ghost in the snow?"

"No,just a mischievous cat who knocked over a vase &framed the butler"

"He'll thank us"

"With a pie"

“Can we ban confetti & rice?” asked Ari, looking at her wedding venue. “I don’t want it to look like a scene of #feathers_fall. The white would diminish the green.”
“The venue would love you,” said Mia.
“Why’s Tom whisking you away for a weekend? No ulterior motive?” #vss365

“Welcome,” she says, unsmiling.
Welcome to this land of eternal winter, of fluttering white flakes dusting every surface like a dream. A land of exiles, populated by angels who can no longer fly. You, a witness, can taste sorrow on the breeze.
“Welcome to #Feathers_Fall.”

When #feathers_fall, you know you've crossed the line.
When sequins flash and lined eyes narrow, duck for cover.
When nails claw, drawing red polish lines through the air... well, don't say I didn't warn you.
I learned years ago to never argue with an angry drag queen.

It's so quiet, I can hear #feathers_fall.
I'm squeezed in a gap under the floor, trying not to breathe. I have no idea if my family or friends have survived.
My muscles cramp, but I can't stretch them for fear the bird creatures will attack with their sharp beaks.

My whole life: noise.

Cars, animals, people.

LOUD.

I bought a tiny island. No people for miles around. You can hear #feathers_fall.

I got what I always wanted.

Quiet.

Perfect quiet.

Such perfect goddamn quiet.

All the time it’s so perfectly fucking quiet!
