Journey of a Feather

From a poultry house, a feather spirals up to the air, and sails to the skies, with the help of strong winds. While aloft, it flies past a burglar trying to break into a popular farm-store in a village. …………It flies past a man struggling to throw his brother’s body into a pit, after a sour fight concerning land inheritance. …………It flies past a child left in the morning cold by its mother, who’s uncertain about her mothering ability. ……………It flies past a shaman taking his mystical concoction for giving him dark, supernatural abilities. As the winds lose their strength, the feather gently rests on the doorstep of the village-chief’s house. If it could only speak and see, it would call out the chief’s name, and narrate to him about all the things it saw around his chiefdom......
