0:00 The world began with a tiny snap.0:02 It wasn't a big, booming sound like the deep sea rumbles our friend Coral the seashell heard, but a quiet little thip that was just for Flicker.0:15 Flicker was a feather, small and soft and grey, with a tip of snowy white.0:22 And in that tiny moment, it let go of the warm robin's wing it had called home.0:29 Suddenly, it was floating.0:32 The wind, a gentle giant, scooped it up, up, UP.0:36 The world below became a beautiful, bumpy quilt of greens and browns.0:42 "Oh!" Flicker whispered, though it had no voice.0:46 It saw a patch of flowers so bright red they looked like jewels scattered on the grass.0:54 Flicker wanted to get closer, to see if they smelled as sweet as they looked.1:01 But the wind had other ideas.1:04 Whoosh!1:04 It carried Flicker higher, past the top of the tallest oak tree.1:10 From here, Flicker could see everything.1:14 It saw a ribbon of silver water that wiggled through the fields.1:19 It saw tiny, busy ants marching in a line on a fence post.1:25 It saw a fluffy white cat sleeping in a patch of sun.1:29 Then, the wind got a little… silly.1:33 It tumbled Flicker end over end, like a little acrobat.1:38 For a moment, Flicker felt dizzy.1:40 The world was a swirl of blue and green.1:44 It was a little bit scary, but also… a little bit fun.1:49 The wind spun it around a big, yellow butterfly, and they danced together for a moment before the breeze carried Flicker on.2:00 And then, just as suddenly as it started, the gust softened.2:05 The wild dance was over.2:08 The wind became a soft, warm breath, and Flicker began to drift down, down, down.2:15 It wasn't falling.2:17 It was… gliding.2:18 Spiraling in slow, lazy circles.2:21 The world didn't rush by anymore.2:24 Instead, it came up to meet Flicker, slow and gentle.2:29 The giant oak tree became a tree again.2:32 The green quilt became individual blades of grass.2:37 Flicker drifted past a window where someone was sleeping, their breath making little clouds on the glass.2:46 It floated over a tiny puddle that held the whole, big sky in its reflection.2:53 And then, it saw her.2:55 A little girl, with hair the color of sunshine, sitting so quietly in the grass.3:02 She was building a house out of twigs and moss.3:06 It was a perfect little house, but it was missing something.3:12 Flicker landed, soft as a thought, right on the little girl's outstretched hand.3:19 She gasped, a tiny, happy sound.3:22 Her fingers gently closed around the feather.3:26 "You're perfect," she whispered.3:29 She carefully tucked Flicker into the mossy roof of the little twig house, right at the very top, like a flag.3:39 Flicker was no longer lost.3:41 It wasn't just a feather on the wind anymore.3:45 It was the finishing touch.3:47 It was home.
