Oh, my, just now read this wonderful parable (for that’s how it seems to me). Loved these words especially: “The rabbits sneak about on silent psalmist feet, little brown saints who listen more than they speak, shrewd little messengers of fertility and ancestry. Simple peasant creatures with simple peasant testimonies, making hearth and family where they may, a continued survival of softness and faith and fast-beating hearts in the dark.” My first response: “How does she do that?” 😊
The writing in this one was *chef's kiss*, well done! Never thought about how rabbits really do seem to come back just in time for Easter... saw my first one of the season on a night walk just a few days before.
This was really thought-provoking! I’ve always been one to roll my eyes at the Easter bunny, but I love this perspective and the reminder of the earthy reality of the resurrection.

Thanks S.E., for reminding us that Rabbit is still relevant! So hopeful...
