Mourning Dove

Glass, Copper

20” x 27.75”

Mourning Dove has long been cherished as a sign of hope, renewal and peace. When Dove returned to Noah’s Ark carrying an olive leaf it was a sign of life, of dry land.

 The cooing of Dove at dawn and dusk reminds us to reflect on the energies at play during these times of transition, when the veils between the physical and spiritual worlds are thinnest. Take time to notice how the cooing sounds to you, as it reflects the energies and perspectives present in your life. Dove brings an opportunity to understand gentleness.

Dove is connected through myths and legends with goddesses and maternal instinct. Dove broods 2 eggs at a time. Dove, in association with the number 2, is a symbol of creative and feminine energies, and the importance of home.
