This was exceptionally written, exquisitly
detailed and thought provoking. I had never
stopped to examine all that happens in my
mind when I want to make a purchase. I never
make impulse buys. Maybe I need to and no,
not an owl. Ha ha

What a fantastic story I began to cry at multiple times because it really relates to my life! I wish I could communicate with Peter on a Personal level so we can discuss more in depth the conplexity of his words.

What a wonderful, heart-warming story! In a way, it is the answer to the question of whether it is a certain (material) thing that "brings" luck into one's life, or it is the owner, inspired by its beauty eventually creates that luck himself/herself. I think, the craft of the man who had made the Owl found its way to Joan (in the Owl's stare), and inspired her into making beautiful things...

Delightful! I'm going to find a large wooden owl, buy it and give it to my girlfriend with a copy of this story as a token of my love. mj

I was captured in the first paragraph and just had to
read to the end.
Beautifully told, with delicate understatement, it is an
inspirational story and Wednesday 14 th March for me
has just brightened considerably.
Congratulations Peter on your style.
One of the best stories I ahve read on this site.

I find this piece a very imaginative, creative and yet delicate read. It invigorates the essence of life. It allows the reader no time for displacement.
Exceptional piece.

Was captivated by the start, excited by the middle, sadly dissapointed by the end. Was this originally to be a longer piece ? The glimpses of brilliance at the start of the story set a high bench mark, sadly not lived up to.

I have alway's been interested in tawny owls and like the lady in the story was inspired into opening up my own company called Tawny Cleaning.I have been going for three months now and most of my previous customers with the company I was employed with have ask me to clean there premises and things look good for the future.
