Hawk/Dove (Draw a Bird Day)
Messenger of souls–
swift raptor or calming breath?
The inner eye, seeking–
waiting for visions combined–
wings replacing fear with hope.
In myth and story, and as symbol, both hawks and doves serve as messengers from the spirit world.

Yes–you know how I feel about hawks. Haven’t been seeing many of them lately. Maybe they went south already. Nice drawings.

I know, they’ve been absent around here too. I’m blaming it on the construction.
