Spirit Animal – Dove, The Protector

This story appeared in my email, and then the next day, while talking with my girlfriend in my session (healing) room, a dove’s feather dropped between us.

I started to tingle.  Dove stuff two days in a row!  Dove had something important to say.  First, he was saying – let there be peace.  Second, his message was about one of the Universe’s Laws – keep safe the children.  Noah instinctively knew that the bunnies were helpless, and that they needed to be cared for.  The bigger message for humans is that we all need to care for our children – and stop the predators who use the sweetness of a child to feed their need for power.  We need to provide better education for them. Not education about history, but education on community, on doing the right thing for the community – like Noah does instinctively – and on working on balance, and not greed, power, and competition.

**************************************************************

These little bunnies, about 6 days old, were attacked by a dog and orphaned. Two out of the litter of five did not survive, and these three were not doing very well.

Noah is a non-releasable, one-legged homing pigeon/rock dove that is in the rehab center. Noah kept going over to the bunny cage and looking in -- even sleeping in front of the door to the cage.

Then, suddenly, there were only two bunnies in the cage.  But when Noah moved a bit from the front of the cage to everyone's surprise...there was the tiny bunny..under Noah's wing....sound asleep! That little bunny rabbit had crawled through the cage, preferring a featherbed, no doubt to snuggling up with its littermates!

Now, they are all together and the bunnies are doing GREAT. When the bunnies scoot underneath Noah's feathers, he carefully extends his wings out to surround them and then they snuggle..  When one of them moves and they start sticking out here and there, he gently pushes them back under him with his beak!  It is beautiful and amazing to see....
Is this what God does with us when we need the warmth and love He offers. He gathers us under His loving wings to a cradle of protection. All we need do in return is give Him the thanks and praise for being with us.
