Spiritual Awakening

The beautiful white dove that flew from the flames of our outdoor fire pit as I sat snuggled with my hubby Dave marked the beginning of my awakening. At the time, the illusion felt real. As I watched the small bird emerge, I ducked my head, saying, “What the heck was that?” Naturally, Dave knew nothing of the event, and I sat there awestruck as all the cells in my body were buzzing. I called my mother-in-law the next day, attempting to describe the event. She asked a profound question,

“What did the dove mean to you?”

After a moment, I replied, “A new beginning,” and it was.
