it was a dear friend, who lives on the other side of the ocean's birthday yesterday.I wish she had been with me in the early morning to experience what I saw.I awoken early, as the norm for me as you know. It was well before dawn and soft fresh snowflakes had been falling all night long. I opened the front door to let Edgar out to sniff out the beginning of the new day. He quickly darted off in an easterly direction to visit a neighbours bushes but I stayed on the porch for a few minutes looking toward the north, admiring the magical jewels in the snow over the fresh snow on the street. Out of the corner of my eye I caught something moving. Wait, not just one something but three somethings. As they got closer on their path straight down the middle of my street I realized they were rabbits, three brown rabbits. I wanted to grab my camera but instead I just stood there bundled up in my sweater and with my warm moccasins on and watched as they hopped in tandem down the street towards the small ravine at the end. I didn't follow them into a rabbit hole. In fact I think they were trying to teach me their rabbit wisdom about if you find yourself stuck in a rut, use your inner light to guide yourself out.
A very good lesson indeed.
i think the internet has become a darker, more fearful place for some delicate hearts and minds over the past few years. But I also believe that if some of us continue to blog , post and share with the light in our hearts, filled with kindness, consideration and love of one another and of this place we call earth that perhaps those that have been frightened away may again feel it is a place of comfort , warmth and light.
Didn't set out for the post to turn this way, but i guess i am typing with my heart this morning.
big hug
margie
as always such beautiful words.
have a great start to your week :-)

Margie,
Good morning. Well, this is a nice message. I just read an article in the NYTimes sunday paper about the repercussions of public violence on our psyche, particularly children and teens. I was feeling that dark, overwhelmed place. But, you are right. Our one true option is to be a vehicle for love and goodness and truth.
Thanks, Maribeth

I think the bits of fear and darkness exist in life in general, so it's a perfect message. We all must try to send out our bit of love and warmth to the world. As in real life, there are many wonderful and kind bloggers out there. It is such a kind and generous community.!

You and your close blog friends always spread light and love. This is a dark world and I cling to a Bible verse: "He that is in you is greater than he that is in the world." You indeed are filled with light and love and I want to thank you for letting that light beam out through the internet. Have a wonderful day!

I love rabbits and your icy rabbit is magical. I think as much as we don't like darkness, it is necessary to see the light. I think the internet world contains light and dark as much as there is good and bad in all of us. But what I've found for myself is that the more I concentrate on light, the more I see. Thank you for the ongoing light you share here and the beautiful way that you view the world around you.

Well, I must only read the love and light parts of the internet! I really don't know what dark stuff you are referring to. In any case, I always like coming here to your blog :)

Aren't you just a little gift to us all. Thank you for sharing and having such lovely thoughts and sharing. And as has been said: "this is good". It's been a long day and I am smiling and you have helped Margie. This machine called a computer has brought marvels to my small world. We can all use more kindness in our days.
