| This is called, "Pelican Point". There were pelicans everywhere, and I was fascinated watching them dive for fish. I actually went on a walk one afternoon alone, and found a beautiful spot to sit down and I watched pelicans dive for fish for about an hour. Never got tired of it. Did lots of thinking while I was sitting. As I sat, I recalled the symbolism of the mother pelican....., ancient tradition states that the mother pelican wounded her own breast and would feed her babies her own blood to prevent them from starvation. Anther version states that the mother pelican would feed her dying babies her own blood and therefore revive them back to life, but lose her own life. One can easily see how this points to Christianity - Jesus, giving His own life for our redemption - losing his life by the blood shed, yet reviving us from our own spiritual deaths. |
