05/04/2002 "With the bunnies, in the meadow (To Live Outside the Law, You Must Be Honest)"

"So you scamper off and frolic in the meadow with bunnies little camper"
At first this statement, said with contempt, made me angry but I have learned whenever my anger is triggered, truth is around the corner. Then I found a tiny lost bunny in front of my house.
It was obviously on its own for the first time. I picked it up and carried it to safety in the back yard. by water. My yard is not lawn but prairie flowers, prairie grasses, mulberry trees, shrubs, (arrowroot, bayberries-many berry shrubs), 30 evergreens, birch, cherry trees and black walnut trees. The flowers, ah the flowers and herbs...wild roses, lillies of the valley, wild indigo, golden alexander, bergamot, prairie phlox, rattlesnake master, blazing star, catnip, oregano, sweet basil, chives, wild violets, white culver, wild strawberries, shooting star, New England asters, ox-eye sunflowers, coreopsis, great blue lobelia and coneflowers. There is also nicotina, jasmine and other sweet smelling, night blooming flowers. I set water out in shallow bowls all over the yard.
I carried the bunny in my cupped hands, it's heart beating close to my heart, our hearts beating together, all my senses suddenly heightened,feeling its' softness, its' softness, and set it gently down by the water in the grass and flowers. And I knew.
The author of the above statement called me pedantic with a need to feel superior to others. But it is attorneys and judges who need to feel superior to others, the profession practically demands those character traits. So that they can use rules and technicalities to defend the guilty/rich and persecute the innocent/poor.
I do not want the life of the law, Real Life, as the author of the above statement put it. I want to scamper off and frolic in the meadow with the bunnies. Such an existence is neither simpleminded or a Hallmark card existence. It is the Law and Order crowd, where the pedantic assholes live, not the meadow. The Law and Order crowd only go to the meadow to kill for sport. Yes, I want the meadow and the bunnies. God love the child who has her own.

I discovered your site via a comment you left on another website. I just want to say hello and let you know that I think you are a very brave and loving lady. I wish you much luck and tranquility and peace in the midst of all that is going on in this crazy world we live in.
