Simple Answers from a Bird
Mourning Dove
This bird landed nearby. So I asked,
“Where am I?”
“You are here, in this moment of now.”
“What am I doing?”
“Traveling through time.”
“Can I control any part of this?”
“Only your choices.”
“Why are my choices important?”
“Your choices become your life.”
“How will I know if I’m making good choices?”
“Seek to be someone you and others would admire.”
Mourning Dove
“What else can I do?”
“Ask questions.”
“What sort of questions?”
“Questions that help you.”
“How will I know what those questions are?”
“First ask yourself what you need. Then ask how.”
“And then what?”
“Be courageous enough to accept new ideas.”
Mourning Dove
“What would make today wonderful?”
“Act with kindness and service.”
“Toward whom?”
“Begin with yourself, as if you were your best friend.”
“And then . . . ?”
“Everybody else.”
“Some people can be a challenge.”
“The way you meet challenges defines you.”
“What else could I do?”
“Be grateful.”
“For what?”
“Everything.”
“Even bad news?”
“Yes, because bad news challenges and then teaches.”
Much success,
Steve Kaye

Posted at 22:40h, 29 MayI was shaken reading the first few lines, the power of Now. This has helped me recognize more of my choices of today, and how I could have been more grateful. I must use my power and my choices with as much presence and awareness as possible.
Keep riding the waves and helping people, you are good at it! Thank you for sharing, thank you for being a true inspiration.
I ask myself:
“What do I need?”
I answer:
“I need to be patient and kind”

Posted at 09:14h, 02 JuneWow Steve! This is extraordinary. I’ve been moved by the dove’s voices for the last month or so. So nice to hear of your experience with these wonderful beings. These have a similar essence too some of the queries in my book.
I would like to co-create more communication with you. I appreciate your inclusion of me with these precious pictures and words.
ENJOY,
Lorian
