A Message from My Feathered Friend?

I went out into the backyard today to fill the birdbath with clean water and top it up for my three crows that love to use it lately -
The Three "Only" Things?

Crazy Eyes of an Old Crow?
And as I'm pulling a few weeds I notice a single crow feather lying near my garden gnome and I assume it's from my old mate who likes to hang around on the fence post near the gnome.

Crow Symbolism

If you read my blog regularly, you'd be aware that I consider the crow and other birds of the corvid family of birds as my totem/spirit animals.

I'm not really into gnomes, but I put this one in my garden not long after a butterfly landed outside my kitchen window when I first moved in, only because the gnome is holding a blue butterfly and I found it in a section of the supermarket it shouldn't have been in when I was doing some grocery shopping -
There is Harmony in Everything, It's a Butterfly Who Waits for the World?

But the weird thing was I was listening to a podcast last night about a lady who claims to have had NDEs and gnome encounters apparently, but I gave up at around the 34-minute mark -
Experience 252 - Stephanie Quick, Near Death Experience, Synchronicities & Liminality

I was tired and in a shitty mood anyway and flicked it off and vowed not to listen to the rest of it and went to sleep.
But after finding the feather near the gnome I thought about the lady who was going to tell about her gnome encounter, and thought that maybe I should listen to the rest of the podcast.
As I resumed listening on iTunes it picked up again at the 34-minute mark and Stephanie mentions bathing and cleansing and then goes on to talk about bird-watching and parallel existences.
Hmm ... OK?

Farking weird or what?!
