You are completely correct. I definitely thought the last interpretation I found about the Rabbit was meant for us and keeping our minds on what-is rather than possibly manifesting what-if scenarios. I think what impressed me most is your transparency when it comes to your personal life. I could really relate to this one and it related to the vision I had of being led with a noose around my neck and the story of the Rabbit and Eye Walker.
Friendships are becoming more and more important to me. I've always had a small friends circle and through "wear and tear" have lost some- either I grew tired of them or those who have 'endured' my personality have become tired of me. Being on the losing end or worrying about losing some of those childhood friends affects me more as my circle gets smaller. They're usually pretty tolerant, but sometimes a different side of me comes out through social outings that is less in-control. Or, other times, I've repressed my own feelings even during manipulative or abusive patterns.
I can only comment on so much of your last entry because there are personal battles that all of us face that others may not have the right clarity and choice words to address. Better not say anything then say what could be misconstrued or worst yet; that we assume knowledge and wisdom for what we have no right to preach. There may come a time when both of us can address the differences in our relationship with constructive awareness. Till then it may be best to read the shaman messages presented to us. That is the opportunity I see presented by your interpretation of manifesting nature symbolism to guide us through events. This has always been one of your great contributions here. Something brought over from past life medicine man interpreter episodes. After difficult encounters… a hop skip and jump and we are back on the path again. That has always been a reassuring energy that has been our wind to keep us sailing towards higher spiritual insights through mutual understanding.
Above all, Rabbit and Eye Walker teach people how to confront fear by acknowledging it first, then letting go of it. If one lives in fear of an imagined tragedy, the perceived “what-ifs,” then misfortune will find you. If you instead focus on the “what is,” you will find happiness. The rabbit reminds us not to focus on the bad in our lives and in the world, but on the good.
Sometimes the magician pulls the rabbit out of the hat 🎩 and we have a laugh at his entertaining while at the same time recognizing that some tricks are not so easily explained but are the mark of forces and a grace beyond human understanding.
