A Dove’s Message

I sat at our dining room table facing three huge picture windows.  Outside, I could see our pond, five acres, and hills of southern Ohio.  I was totally absorbed in writing Learning and Living THE BIG PICTURE of Life, the children’s version of Greater Reality Living.  A loud noise startled me as a bird flew into a window.  I looked at the ground below and saw a dove standing upright but motionless.  After making sure our two cats were inside, I went out to check on it.

The bird continued to stand very still, but turned its head to look at me.  Kneeling down within a foot of the beautiful creature, I hoped it just needed to recover from the shock.  I also felt this message: ‘Mark, when you are hurt in any way, go within like this dove.  Be quiet for awhile to recover as quickly and fully as possible.’

I looked at it intently since I have never seen a dove up so close.  As it alternately closed and opened its eyes, I saw that its eyelids were a beautiful sky blue color.  An hour later, the bird was gone and there were no feathers to suggest an animal had killed it.  The next morning, I sat down to write again.  To my amazement, this clear image was on the window . . .

 

A practical explanation would be that fine down and oil from its feathers left an imprint of wings, body, and head.  Curiously, a tuft of hair looked like a yellow beak – but it didn’t have any yellow feathers and its beak was black.

Seeing the image triggered a cascade of thoughts:

  1. I started a homeopathic healing program two weeks before to help a chronic sinus condition that caused me to clear my throat during public speaking. (I was motivated to try this approach after reading The Living Energy Universe by Dr. Gary Schwartz.)  The nickname of my homeopathic practitioner is Dove.
  2. The throat or fifth chakra is a center for ‘speaking ones highest truth.’ That yellow area was directly over where the bird’s throat would be.  Had I been tense about teaching evidence-based topics that made sense to me, but would set me up for criticism?
  3. I have felt more peaceful for the last two years since working with the SoulPhone and Greater Reality Living projects with Dr. Schwartz. Looking back, I can see how the various ‘failures and losses’ in my life directly prepared me for this work.
  4. The treatment precipitated a review of past events while dreaming. For two weeks, I had intense dreams that seemed to last throughout the night.  Upon awakening, I could trace the past trauma that I felt were being released.
  5. I’ve felt more happy for no particular reason in the last week.
  6. The dove is widely recognized as a messenger of love and peace.

After mentally running through this list, I spontaneously took a deep breath and exhalation as if releasing a big weight and pressure from my body.  Had I experienced a messenger?  Did an angel, guide, or postmaterial loved one temporarily join forces with a bird that willingly participated in this touching and energizing scenario?

Here are some early take-aways from this experience.  When tough times occur, as they invariably do, it can be difficult to remember life’s big picture and maintain hope.  For example:

  • An over-stressed person might react to the magical image on the window this way: ‘That damn bird. We just had the windows cleaned.’
  • A deeply depressed person might consider the fallen bird as yet another painful example that life is cruel and unfair.
  • A very anxious person might excessively worry if the bird will ever be OK.

However, seeing the light – even a little bit – can have profound benefits.  This is one reason it’s so important to stay balanced and enjoy centering practices.  (see Radiant Wellness)  It’s also vital to remember that we each are integral and beloved parts of the Light / Source energy.

That one realization can make a huge difference in how well you perceive the greater reality.

And, also, there’s this: we don’t want to miss out on the fun, richness, and spirit of life during this brief but wonderful (full of wonder) time on earth.  And we do want to remember there is meaning and purpose to life’s sad and difficult times – even if we can’t see it at the time.

I’m thankful for this experience and the opportunity to share it with you.  May you feel more abundant peace, joy and love now and always.  May you increasingly detect messages of hope and meaning that energize you to savor the journey while blessing others and our world.  May you remember that you are one with One Mind / the Light / All That Is now and always.
