The Doves

There is a reason doves come in pairs: they mate for life, and so stand for love and faithfulness. But doves have a deeper meaning as well. Pure and unbound by the earth, doves are a symbol of the living spirit… the luminous presence within all things. When we experience this spirit within everything in each moment, then we connect to our shunia, the inner source of the deep, infinite peace, that passes all understanding. In this way, doves have become a well-known peace symbol.
