Dove Drops Feathers

The other morning, I stepped out of the house, through the patio door, and found some dove feathers on the mat outside the door.  I picked them up, said a thank-you, and left them on the table on the deck.  I was going to clean them when I got back from walking my dog.

When I got back, the dove feathers had blown back to the mat.  I laughed.  Dove surely wanted me to use these feathers for something.  And, when my dog and I were walking, I found a beautiful magpie feather sitting on the middle of the path. I found this quite unusual since that path is walked by over a hundred dog owners and their dogs, each day, and usually twice a day.

So, I  knew that something was special about feathers, and I knew that Dove was sending a message.

1.  Feathers are very often a sign from the Angels that they have heard your prayer, or request, and that they will do as you have prayed for the greatest and highest good.

2.  Dove is about peace and being peaceful, and being nurturing.  I am working this out in my life right now.  It seems like Dove is offering her help.

3.  While my husband and I were having breakfast on the deck that day, Dove came and sat on the peak of our house and cooed at us while we were eating.  It seems like she was saying to be gentle to ourselves and to enjoy our life.

4.  I have been contemplating making a new drum beater, and I keep seeing it with feathers at the end.  The gift of the dove feathers seems like I will be making a “Dove” drum beater.

Dove on Changing Patterns

I kept hearing, “Look out the window.”  At first it was a plea and then it became demanding.  I finally went to the kitchen window and looked out.  I saw the most beautiful pair of mourning doves sitting on the branch of one of our spruce trees.

They both oo’oo’d, and said that they had something to share with me about change.  Here is what they said:

• Whatever the pattern has been, such as Doves flying south for the winter, there comes a time to break the pattern.
• Patterns are often genetic in origin, and, in our case, are part of our innate design.  You can see that we have broken this pattern this year, and this will begin the change for our offspring.  
• Patterns were designed to meet a certain environment.  When the environment changes, then it is time to change the pattern.
• While others do not feel the need to change, there are always those pioneers that need to follow the new sound or drum beat.  It is often the role of the pioneers to be ridiculed or called crazy.  They are not crazy.
• Being at one with change, and breaking patterns is what is required to help one’s survival.  Live well.

Blessings,
