I have some childhood memories with doves and my grandmother. When I was little I was with her a lot and somehow I remember doves as being part of those times. When we went for a walk, I would always hear and see doves. When she lay dying and I had a chance to visit her in Germany, she could not talk anymore. I was so sad, I could only hold her hand. I talked to her, but I don't know if she heard me or not. On one of those days, I saw a dove outside sitting on a tree close to her apartment in the nursing home. All of a sudden I knew that her death would not be the end, but that she would still be there. I felt comforted all of a sudden. When she actually died, I was back in the States and right around her death I saw a dove. When her sister died, I again saw a dove. So for me, doves have something to do with the spirits of people I love and are comforting. Maybe that is a bit similar to the owls.

Interestingly I've always had my spirit animal connection even when I was actively seeking out the Catholic faith. Strangely enough I have always had a strong real life connection to these majestic birds as well. The boarding school I went to had the dorms on the top floor and large owls often ended up flying into a dorm room during the day time when the crows chased them. I was the only one who was able to go into those rooms and corridors, often mere feet away from fearsome beaks and talons to open windows for them to leave when dusk came. With me these birds didn't exhibit the threatening behavior we saw with other individuals. I suspect my body language was different and I didn't smell of fear.

It is a compass and a guardian if you will. <br />The owl is seen as quiet, observant, have ancient wisdom, be intuitive, courageous, and link to the spirit world. <br />It's a non-christian thing.

I would leave if I had those loud crows flying around me all day long :). So nice you used to have a pool. We always had one when I was growing up. And a sprinkler, which was the main attraction for about 20 children to come and visit us in the summer. The whole neighborhood had fun in our backyard. Can you use the courtyard or is it just "decorative"?
