The Legend of the Bunny Bodhisattva
Once upon a time, there was a girl...well truly she was a woman, nearing Crone...but her heart was of a child. She traveled to a mythical land named Sedona as she heard a fancy tall tale about vortexes that healed and this girl...um...woman...was all about the quick fix.
Synchronicity placed her in the path of a trail guide named Akal. He was knowledgeable and connected to the spirit world. He guided her and then offered her a soul retrieval. She was thrilled. Wow. Instant healing. Just add a smudge fan.
All fairy tale fodder aside, something did happen to her. A place in her head that was dusty and forgotten opened up and art poured out. Goddess art at first. Female power art next. And on and on. A story formed in her head about a small bunny. The bunny was her as a child. She put this particular art aside; she knew that when it was begun it would consume her. Two years later, in Sedona, she was guided to bring this story to life. It required her to put aside her previous livelihood and guilt mixed with exhilaration. She worked fervently. She worked tirelessly.
A book was born. Quirky and cute, her Bunny became real and she enjoyed its company.
But soon enough...well truly it was two years...the book was finished.
She found she wanted to share the story and the Bunny, but resistance was great to her goal. And she works still to find this Bunny a voice...
But she knows this much...
The Bunny will show her how to grow...
The Bunny teaches patience...
The Bunny teaches persistence...
The Bunny teaches humility....
The Bunny teaches her to not react to criticism...even when it is family...
The Bunny will teach her how to pursue her joys without regret...
On a full moon, on Valentines Day, she realizes that besides her partner and daughter...she has the most eloquent of friend...a small Bunny born of the soul.
