The Fellowship of Dove Eyes – Song 1:15

Doves Male and Female with nest of babies

Blossoms are appearing! The season of songbirds has come, and the cooing of doves is being heard in the land.  Song 2:12

My family used to raise doves, and sell the babies to pet stores. It was fairly easy, since they mated for life. And mated a lot! In fact, that is one of the unique things above doves. When our doves weren’t eating or sleeping, they were preening and loving on each other.

The Impatient Patience of Love (An Intro to Song 1:7)

“I am tired, Beloved, of chafing my heart against the want of you; Of squeezing it into little inkdrops and posting it. And I scald alone, here, under the fire of the great moon.”
