Traveling to visit a friend in Florida, she missed the road and ended up on a two-track where she had a surprise encounter with a barred owl.
This visit turned out to be their last; her friend passed away before they would be together again.
Walking on the beach at home, she came upon a most unusual find: a dead barred owl. She was instantly reminded of the owl she had seen on the way to visit her friend, and she recognized this communication through nature.
