Hi Carole Ann, In 08 I moved from the farm I lived on all my life. I was sitting on a beach in New Smyrna feeling a little guilty and uncertain about leaving it all behind. Especially the dogs I had to leave with the ex.
A white feather slowly floated down from above and to my left landing just out of reach at my feet. I'm not sure how long I just looked at it but when I leaned forward to pick it up it lifted and slowly floated away. It left me with a strong feeling I had done the right thing and to move on.
If I remember the scene from the movie Forrest Gump correctly it was very similar.
I don't have any idea about the black feather but I'm sure you will learn the answer when the time is right.
