What a sight this morning to see a rare dove in these parts. He/she was on my deck - memorized by finding another dove so perfect in resembling his/her own image. This beautiful and gentle dove was big..so plump...so mature and magestic.
We all wish to find such a friend, such a one who looks like and acts like and even walks like we do.
We would be so comfortable with this friend. Such is the case with this dove finding its perfect friend this morning at 8:30 am. I could see that this dove was very surprised and wondering.
You see, I have on my deck against my railing from the deck boards to almost 5 feet square a perfect mirror without edges...that is so placed...that even my neighbor thought I had company when he saw himself in this perfect mirror.
Well, miss or mr dove this morning also made the same mistake. If a human can make such a percepion, how much more so a little innocent dove who was just awed by such a perfect bird? This is not bird narcissim but rather with no realization that this is one's self; but rather to see the beauty in another that perfectly fits one's ideal and natural likeness.
But this is what really happens when God sees us! We are created in His own image and likeness. He loves Himself in what He sees in us: eternal beauty and goodness and love.
Peace and Love, Pio Happy Spring! What other surprises does God have for us today!!
