Connecting over tinfoil flower and peace dove


--by mindyjourney, posted Apr 21, 2016
Our waiter, Jose, held up the origami dove and said, "Oh! I will put this in my car!"

I replied, "Good! It will lead you in the direction of Peace."

Jose returned to our table a few minutes later with a piece of tinfoil and very diligently folded, tore, gently and carefully, until it became this flower, which he so sweetly presented to me <3.

It's amazing how a little folded square of paper, like a Peace dove, can bring such an exchange of a positive connection!

Blessed, my kind friends, and so very grateful.
