Sign of Comfort

Another moment came when I was living in Thailand.

One day after work, I heard a quiet whisper inside telling me to go to the beach. I was tired, and I knew the water would revive me.

Within minutes of walking along the shore, I noticed a huge feather shape etched into the sand.

I stopped.

I felt immediately that seeing it mattered — that it meant something — though I couldn’t yet sense what the message was.

I carried that feeling home with me.

That evening, an email arrived announcing the passing of my spiritual mentor, Dr. Natacha Kolesar.

In that distinct moment, I understood.

The feather on the beach — carved so clearly into the sand — felt like it had been placed there for me, a small sign of comfort.

A reminder that she, and the angels, were near.
