Sat down on a bench by the sea to breathe and absorb some sunlight. My mind was kinda stuck in the past, was feeling a bit down and anxious.
Then, a beautiful dark gray, almost black pigeon landed right next to me. It looked quite different and unique in comparison to other pigeons nearby. I soon noticed it was missing two fingers, and that hit real deep.
Here I am, thinking about something that's not even here, feeling weak and lost... and there's this pigeon, actually missing a part of his body, flying around carefree, fully immersed in the moment.
It was not afraid of me, not at all. It stood barely a few inches away. We locked eyes a few times. It was truly divine. It totally seemed like this pigeon came specifically to me, to deliver a message. And the message was received.
It brought a few tears to my eyes. The pigeon flew away and I walked back home with a smile on my face, breathing freely.
Animals are so cool.
Btw, great thread @Mandy ! Much love.
