The Rabbit Room

I love it when you write something new. I had been wishing for an AP RR post during quarantine. Thank you for this.

This is really beautiful, Elizabeth. Love, love, love.

This is great, MC. Can’t wait to hear more.

Amen.

That was beautiful.
Early this morning, I looked out the window and saw two cardinals, a bluebird and a rabbit, all at the same time. We’ve never had rabbits this close to the house, but our border collie died several weeks ago, and I’m thinking they have less to fear now. Anyway, the rabbit was near the little trail in the woods that I named the…[Read more]

Of all the nerve!

I’m so glad you wrote this. I needed some rock in my soul.

“I’m struck by the tension between the hope and the reality, the future and the present, as if the expectation of the thing haunts the property.”

Oh the groaning. Not only the creation, but we ourselves, too.

We finally rented this last weekend, and it surpassed all of my expectations.
All of this business about finding one’s tribe, and forming community when you’re floating in liminal space made me think of us rabbits, of course. So when actual rabbits showed up in the movie, I was giddy.
I can’t wait to see it again. It’s on my Christmas wish list.

I love this, Sharon. Keep writing.

You had me tearing up at “All I know to do is to tell you a story.” And of course, the story did not disappoint. Such beauty. Thank you for sharing this with us, Andrew.

This is so good. Thank you, @russramsey.

Thank you for a thought-provoking post, Heidi. I have a friend who says there were so many roses at her mother’s funeral that for years the scent for her was a reminder of sadness.
If our Lord smelled like royalty at his death, I’m wondering if, in addition to being a reminder of his kingship and an inspiration to long for what was to come, the…[Read more]
