Message from the rabbit in my backyard…well back-story first. Today my oracle card reading suggested a message from a wild creature could be forthcoming. Yay, I thought. Always up for guidance, especially from the natural world.
I looked up over my cup of coffee as a rabbit dashed in a diagonal straight line across the lawn to the hedgerow at the back of our yard. Hmmm…Are you my messenger?
I sat back and watched as he inched his way carefully across the brushy hedge to settle into the grass and leaves. He turned his twitching nose into the sun. His ears constantly moving, gathering the dog barks, lawn mowers and squirrel fussing…on garde so to speak and looking calm all the same. Suddenly and loudly a dog bark rang close. The rabbit turned slowly in place and carefully stepped into the gap in the hedge…taking refuge in the shadows.
The whole scenario seemed so mundane, and I know that the most profound messages can come from the most ordinary of happenings. I took up my pen and journaled the incident. I even drew a little sketch of the rabbit and a diagram of the path he took.
“Rabbit runs in a straight line across the yard…”
Then I asked…What is the message from the rabbit? And I listened and I began to write…
The message from the rabbit:
“Get busy! Take a chance! There is cover if you need it. The voices will always be barking around you! So you do what you need to do when you need to. Get out of the shadows, because you are safe!
From the edge it is scary, but you see the perspective I (the rabbit) cannot…the dog that barked was no real threat. How often have you not tried, or given up because of a perceived threat?
Hop to it!”
Wow, I thought as I wrote, “thank you bunny!” in my journal.
And today I take it from the rabbit…
