A Rabbit Watch: An Angel Message

 The grass was soaked this morning, cooler temperatures, a fresh breath of air...a sense of satisfaction filled the atmosphere at the start of a new day.  A bunny came by and sat still as I watched him from the porch.  A beautiful peaceful rabbit with a white powder puff tail, big shiny bright eyes and two tall ears sticking up like antennas on top of his furry brown head.  He posed still as a statue... vigilant.  I got the angelic message... Keep your ears and eyes opened wide and you'll see God in all the details.

 It was a visual confirmation of my morning journal guidance:

"Dear One,

It's hard to discipline your mind to stay focused on Me, 

even in the most mundane little chores.  This is the practice 

of praying without ceasing-- what you do, say or think has power 

and grace when I am present.  Watch and be still... 

Listen for My direction...the little pull to go here or do that... 

Pay attention to detail. Let us travel the road together in joy this day.  

Let the beating of your heart be the cadence of Love leading the way forward. 

 Be filled with gratitude for every step you take, 

for where you stand is holy ground.  All is well."

Later, I came across a recent photo of the white rabbit's pocket-watch at Sunflower Park.  The timepiece symbol from the story of Alice and Wonderland is beginning to show evidence of wear and tear over the years.   "I'm late. I'm late for a very important date."  The famous line the harried rabbit mumbled before disappearing down the rabbit hole. 

The rabbit's pocket-watch reminded me of taking time to seek God at the beginning of each day.  And, to avoid frantically running here and there driven by the petty tyrant of time. Haste makes waste.  Time is relative.  Wonderful things happen when the day begins by keeping a very important date with the Divine.  Oh, the places you'll go and the people you'll meet... A Wonder Land.

Love and peace,
