Good question Jessalyn.
The pest of peace.
During the holiday season the Dove will shine...the symbol of peace will be in every home, you will find there image hanging from tree's and shown on cards, there mere little icon will follow the words of wishing you peace during these remembered times.
& as we put all the orniments away, take the tree down, put yet another Christmas behind us, little do we know....Something that should be cherish everyday of our lives through out the year is also packed away, put aside and ironically forgotten....until....next time.
The Dove is a Pigeon & the Pigeon is a Dove, both are the same bird, one is simply smaller, Both are our symbol of peace.
Both are being shunned and slaughtered accross the USA and other countries as well.
The Pigeon aka the Dove wish you peace, each and everyday!
