"When God was a Rabbit" *

I stood outside yesterday and a white feather fell into my hand, it's the second time in my life that's happened. It was gone as quickly as it appeared, but it made me smile.
I felt a lot yesterday, but not overwhelmed, I felt calm, contented while I sat outside, I felt happy for every positive encounter and connection I've made, and simultaneously sad for every loss, the outcome was that I was quiet, thoughtful... but contented.
I drank too much the night before, but it was with four beautiful girls who I'm sad I won't be working with anymore, however, I know we'll stay in touch if we need each other still.
My head was sore when I woke up, and I then probably drank too much coffee, but I felt good sat in the sun, I finished reading my book that I've struggled to enjoy until the last quarter, and now I've finished it, I loved it.
Occasionally the grass seeds were knocked by the wind and shook fairies dancing into the air. A butterfly sat on the fence for around an hour. I felt connected, part of the earth, mortal, alive.
I breathed deep, there weren't any strong smells, I could feel the earth through my bare feet, I was grounded. 
I was tired, I was hungry, I was happy.


*When God was a Rabbit - the book I finished yesterday, I highly recommend it.
