Finders

Keepers

By The Fashion Design Academy CompanyPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

"The train is due to arrive any minute now",

announced the Ladder Guardian leaning against

the sign in front of the ticket booth to the

Red-tailed Hawk feather, travelling solo, as it floated

through the railroad station door

With a look of hope and surprise the Hawk feather happily replied...

"I'm trying to find our Buteo group as soon as possible to help construct

our Cornell Lab booth before the event starts tonight!"

" The exhibition map must have fallen out of my pocket, after circling the

building... I've been checking everywhere in sight"

"I have looked high and low, turned around, stood on my head upside down"

the Hawk feather cried in despair..."I'm so lost I don't know what to do..."

" Follow me to the event security station..." said the Ladder Guardian as he

began to confidently walk towards the Red-tailed Hawk feather

" I learned a valuable saying from headmaster Lao Tzu

the wisest man in our town...

that may have the directions you need

"Stop leaving and you will arrive...Stop searching and you will see...

Stop running away and you will be found..."

About the Creator

The Fashion Design Academy Company

See it...hear it...feel the breath of life

From its silence softly whispers

See me in your dreams and secret visions endlessly through the night

In quiet desperation I await your gentle embrace wishing and hoping you can unlock me...
