“Oh, I love the dove,” I said. “May I pick it up?
“Yes,” he nodded, looking up from his work.
“So light and smooth. Lovely,” I observed, reverently holding the dove in one hand and stroking it with the other.
“It’s made of beech. We give them and the crosses,” he nodded towards the other carvers, picked up a cross and held it firm in his grasp, like a prayer, “to hospice.”
Thanking him, I gave him an origami dove, setting it on the table, “Please let me give you this dove. I make and give to promote Peace.” Arranging the wings, so the dove alighted better, I added, “I’ve made about 35,000 or so and send them around the world.”
We locked gazes and nodded in recognition. Instruments of Peace. 🕊 â¤ï¸ 🕊
