“When Doves Fly”

I’m always amazed when life offers you a “you don’t see that too often” moment! I had such a moment this morning. The windows are all open and I decided to finish my book while having my morning coffee. I heard a car stop right in front of my porch and three men hopped out with a crate. One of the neighbors was walking by and I heard them say to her: “Do you want to watch us release our homing pigeons? We’re really excited!” Of course, she said “yes” and I immediately put my book down and went out onto my front porch.

They gently opened the crate door and two beautiful white pigeons, also known as “release doves,” flew out. I watched them fly far away and within minutes turned back. It seems that one was completely trained and is teaching the other one to return home. They lived a few miles from here and were going back home to where they would return.

This was truly one of those “you don’t see that too often” moments in my life because I have never seen that before. 

It was such a beautiful sight to see, and I read that two doves flying together represent peace, harmony, companionship, support, hope and love. What a beautiful meaning!

Happy Sunday and I hope you have a “you don’t see that too often” moment in your life.

Wishing you love and light,

“Remembering 9/11 And 9/12”

We’ll always remember September 11, 2001, yet we seem to forget what it felt like to wake up on September 12, 2001.

We woke up to a world that had become “one.” We woke up to a community that had become “family.” We woke up to neighbors that had become “friends.”

We woke up to a world that had become exactly what it should have been all along: one of love, kindness and compassion for everyone.

We woke up to a world “united,” not “divided.”

As we remember the tragic events of this day 18 years ago, it’s important to remember how the world felt the next day.

Today my thoughts and prayers are for all of us as we remember the events of 9/11 and that we remember the day that “the world would live as one.”

We can still be that world and we can be that world “together.”

Wishing you love and light,

~Anne Dennish~
