It’s a ritual.
To be said on the first morning of every month.
It’s a rhythm.
With twelve beats in a year.
It’s a rebirth.
Believed to bring good luck.
And sure to provide a fresh start.
Rabbit Rabbit to you!

Today is the 182nd day of the year. That means 2021 is still half full with 183 days left. And guess what. The moon is half full tonight, too. Does this feel super symbolic and serendipitous to anyone else? Enjoy all that’s left, friends!

Happy June, everyone.

Today’s post is inspired by a Lao Tzu prose (reinterpreted by Bill Martin) from “The Parent’s Tao Te Ching.” It’s called “Make the Ordinary Come Alive” and it goes like this:
Do not ask your children
To strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
But it is a way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
And the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
Tomatoes, apples and pears.
Show them how to cry
When pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
In the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself.
So here’s to an extraordinarily ordinary April. Rabbit Rabbit!

In honor of the third month of the year—the ancient three hares motif. The thing I love most about this symbol is that it appears in caves and sacred sites across so many cultures and religions. And in one German synagogue there’s a riddle that reads:
“Three hares sharing three ears,
yet every one of them has two.”
So though I think this symbol is best known to represent things like peace, tranquility and success, it also seems to be a powerful symbol of unity. We’re all in this world together. Let’s take care of each other. Here’s to a March filled with goodness!

We’re doing it. We’re making it through this dark winter, day by day. With Lepus, the hare constellation, at its most visible here in the Northern Hemisphere. Burning brightest when we need it most.

This December is going to be…different. With the pandemic still going strong, I’m prepping for a quiet one. And keeping this thought in mind to make it through:
“Cherish the winter. Cherish its quietness, the time of going within to rest and heal. Cherish this time of preparation that must come before new life. Cherish the hope that lies beneath the snow.” –Melody Beattie
Wishing a restful December to all!

November is here. This month I felt very inspired by an exercise from “The Book of Awakening” by Mark Nepo. It goes like this:
Sit outside and watch the clouds. Search for a cloud that looks like a horse. Whether you find one or not, note what searching-for-one-thing feels like. Then close your eyes and breathe evenly. Once centered, open your eyes and look to the same clouds. Choose one that compels you, and see what shape is waiting in it. Whatever you find, note what finding-what-is-there feels like.
This month, I hope you find what is there. And see the beauty, opportunity, and possibility in it. Happy November to you!
