When I realized that this same bird had been sitting there for quite a while I decided to take a moment and offer Reiki to him/her. It did look a bit rough, traumatized, or just not doing well. I really wasn't sure. So I spent 7-10 minutes with him, asked that it be on automatic pilot and then went to continue my project for Lena.
Each time I walked by he/she was still there. I guess it was around 3-315p when I first noticed him/her. When I was finished with Lena's new cage it was about 430p. That's when I knew he/she really wasn't doing well. I was sitting by the door and out of the corner of my eye I saw the bird move. I guess it had a seizure or passed and fell off the bowl. I'm not sure which. I went and grabbed a towel so I could catch the bird if it was still alive. When I went out the bird was very still. I called my daughter and we talked about it. I toweled the bird and we realized that it had passed.
It's hard to figure out how I feel about this. Part of me is glad and touched that the bird choose my yard to find solace in and that he/she was protected and undisturbed during that time. The other part is a little distraught. Since I've moved here it's felt like I'm some sort of Angel of Death.
First I had to take my Aunt and Uncle's dog in for euthanasia. Then my Aunt passed and then 3 1/2 months later my Uncle passes. Now I'm here with my Mom and not sure how long she will be here. This past year I would have said she was going to pass soon due to surgeries etc. But now I'm just not sure.
Back to the dove and I will bury him/her tomorrow. We had a storm at the time of the bird's passing so I couldn't do it then. I hope I can dig a hole deep enough for it. It's still in the 90's right now.
Soar and be free winged friend. xoxo Fri 7/21/17
