Awareness depends on what we focus on, right? Well, duh.
When I read the book "Salt: a World History" by Mark Kurlansky, the whole of human history seemed to revolve around our use of salt. When I read a book by E.O. Wilson, all land-based life appears to have something to do with ants. When I get a new car, I notice how many cars are the same make and model as mine.
Since my artistic focus is solely about birds and uses only feathers, that might say something about my sanity. My world can sort of revolve around feathers. But an advantage of this specialization is that flight and hope and other metaphors associated with feathers are a big part of my life. Maybe that is why I feel so joyful and light most of the time.
