Some 3-4 days ago, a white dove flew into our backyard and has stayed.  It is very comfortable around people,  and at times seems to follow us around. The front-door knocker on our house – made in Israel – reads “Peace To All Who Enter Here.”  Perhaps word has gotten out to our cousins in nature and – unlike patriotic, war-loving, flag-flying neighbors – we have become an attractor for peace.
