Rabbit Love

“What you’ll really be in the mood for is your couch, your bathrobe and your favorite movie in the DVD player. Don’t give in to that urge until tonight.”–astrology.com

Last night I was visited by all the rabbits that have shared my life as companions over the years. In my dream, the rabbits were full of love as I stroked their ears and their cheeks. The truth is that I am a lover of rabbits just as much as I am a lover of men! Rabbit was my first totem animal. She is the soft vulnerable side of me that I show to very few people. In fact, when I am feeling rabbitish, I tend to do as rabbits do in Watership Down: “rabbit underground, safe and sound”.

Perhaps this is all just another way of saying that I am feeling Yin right now, wanting to just BE instead of DO. This is a great time to lie around in the back yard and read or crawl into bed with my laptop and watch my old favorite movies. This is my way of communing with the spirit of Rabbit. The rabbits I have lived with always demonstrated great balance between resting, grooming and being petted, eating, and playing. In this journey I am on to True Love, I am learning to balance these same basic things. Although I am dating, I am learning to focus on ME. Instead of wondering if I am going to have a date or what a certain man is up to, instead each day I focus on how I can love and give to myself as much as I have loved and given to all the men in my life. It is time not only for me, but for all the women that I know to remember that caring for ourselves and creating a life well lived is our most important task.
