The sudden appearance of the snowy owl for Harry Potter was the sign of revelation--of things to come from another world. The wise old owl with a new truth for Harry and the reality of the journey ahead.
Fact is that these owls do just drop in on occasion where they are not supposed to be. Nobody knows why they suddenly take flight and end up on light poles at Dulles Airport--to name just one incident.
We only know that they are free spirits beyond just a food source. Something sets their sights outside of their normal domain and off they go.
This is the season of Epiphany--the shining forth of God's Light in Jesus. All we know is that the Spirit took him beyond where he was expected to go, to people who never expected to see him, and with words that revealed him as the Word itself. Those who follow after him find themselves in flight beyond where they ever dreamed--as no mind could conceive, eye see or ear hear what was in store for those who love him.
