Do you believe in them?

Today a young Dove crashed into my window and died.
I don't normally believe in 'stuff' (even though I cross my fingers telling white lies and avoid stepping under ladders etc ) so maybe I am more superstitious than I care to admit.... but all day long, since hearing it collide and finding the little Dove I have had a feeling of foreboding.
I've talked to my mum who has tried to talk some sense into me that it is just a natural thing that sometimes happens, which I know .... but I just can't shake this horrible feeling.

I believe in a lot of wacky things, but I don't put too much stock in the idea of omens, especially those of bad fortune. Otherwise I would probably see signs in just about everything and then I wouldn't be able to function. Coincidence or serendipity will make me pause more often than not, but as far as a sense of foreboding or good luck I tend to rely on my gut more than outward signs. Then again it could just have been something I ate.

I wouldn't think too much about the dove crashing into the window. It happens to a variety of birds. It just happened to be a dove this time. Maybe he was texting while flying, or distracted by a cut dove flying the other direction.

I am feeling less weird about it today. I suppose the upset of it happening and having to pick the poor little thing up to remove it plus happening at the start of a New Year/decade spooked me a little.

Such a shame when one of your regulars smacks into your window and poof ! silly bird.

I saw a black pussycat the day before yesterday- is that bad

I even went and gave him/her a little stroke because I was being meowed at quite vocally as I walked passed- someone wanted some attention. I think I must be in serious trouble now...

Karen I have buried several birds that have flown into our windows - especially the large one in the bedroom. Two have been doves and even worse was a little Downey Woodpecker a year or two ago. It breaks my heart, but I never see it as an omen.

Karen to Terry, "We had one of our Doves fly into the window and kill himself yesterday"
Terry to Karen, " Aw that's a shame"
Karen to Terry "Yes, I was upset and had a funny feeling that it would bring some bad luck".
Terry to Karen, "Well it did,for the Dove" ......

Man, that's a bit scary...

What is that, a two horned pussydragon?

[Druid 2156]

You know Dragon, a black pussy can be seen as immense good luck by some folks, especially if it wants your attention.

[mr dragon]

Lol. Then I must be a lucky guy then. I'm always getting accosted by these damn cats wherever I go.

Spoiler:

Actually I think I'm the one that goes and gives them the attention- coz I'm a big bleedin' soft touch with the little pusscats, but we'll keep that quiet

.... which remind me of this email

I had lunch with 2 of my unmarried friends. One is engaged, one is a mistress, and I have been married for 20+ years. We were chatting about our relationships and decided to amaze our men by greeting them at the door wearing a black bra, stiletto heels and a mask over our eyes. We agreed to meet in a few days to exchange notes. Here's how it all went. My engaged friend: The other night when my boyfriend came over he found me with a black leather bodice, tall stilettos and a mask. He saw me and said, 'You are the woman of my dreams. I love you.' Then we made passionate love all nightlong. The mistress: Me too! The other night I met my lover at his office and I was wearing a raincoat, under it only the black bra, heels and mask over my eyes. When I opened the raincoat he didn't say a word, but he started to tremble and we had wild sex all night. Then I had to share my story: When my husband came home I was wearing the black bra, black stockings, stilettos and a mask over my eyes. When he came in the door and saw me he said,



"What's for dinner, Batman?"
