There are some mornings when the Divine seems to speak in the smallest of ways, and lately, I’ve been noticing those little messages everywhere. A hummingbird appearing at just the right moment, a dragonfly drifting through my awareness, and, most sweetly, a little bunny who seemed to have her own lesson to share.
For the first four mornings after my sweetie came home, this bunny would simply lie in the grass while I came outside with the puppy. What struck me was how unusually calm she seemed. Most of the rabbits who visit our yard are quick to disappear at the slightest movement, but she would just stay there, peacefully resting in the morning grass as we went about our little routine.
It made me wonder about the symbolism of the rabbit. In shamanic traditions, rabbits are often associated with fear, sensitivity, and vulnerability. And certainly, they are creatures who know how to be alert and ready to flee. Her unusual behavior seemed to send a different message here. Presence allows us to rise above fear and discover that we are safe.
Hummingbird reminds me to notice joy, even when it arrives fleetingly. The dragonfly speaks to me of illusion and the beautiful lightness that can come when we allow ourselves to see through the mechanisms of the ego. And the bunny seems to whisper something quieter: You don’t always have to run. Sometimes you can simply rest in the moment and trust that you are okay.
Life is inviting us to slow down enough to notice what is already here. To step outside, breathe deeply, look around, and allow the ordinary to become sacred.
We are in constant conversation with the Divine. Sometimes through wings, sometimes through a little creature resting peacefully in the grass, and sometimes through nothing more complicated than the gift of this present moment.
✨Blessing✨
May you notice the little blessings along your path today.
May you feel safe enough to pause, breathe, and simply be.
And may your heart remain open to the quiet ways Love makes itself known.
