Pigeon update!
No soul is insignificant No matter the vessel in which they reside. I sent this little quote/poem with the pigeon last night. The words popped into my head as I was getting it ready to be buckled up in transit bus. But let’s rewind the day a little bit, shall we? Monday morning, despite myContinue reading “Pigeon update!”
