Haibun Road Week 16/Feathers
While visiting my husband (again) in Hot Springs, AR, each morning I walked around the lake path. I began picking up goose feathers thinking they may be a good addition to some future collage. Do you know the Greek myth about Icarus? Every morning he went out to collect feathers, so his father could make […]
