My Dearest Royal Subjects, As your immortal reigning monarch, Josephine the Moonstone Tinsel Chinchilla-colored Queen who lived to the age of 18-1/2, I'm here today to help you with the life in which you find yourself. -- Life is very fragile as are we rabbits. We are like tropical orchids requiring a trained, devoted caretaker. We are like European sports cars, very fast & complex, requiring an import specialist mechanic for repairs and maintenance. We are like racehorses, prone to abuse from a corrupt system yet sometimes capable of magnificent accomplishments such as advanced age like myself, as long as a perfect rainbow of conditions exist. So when something beautiful is ripped from us with callous & utter disregard, such as a graceful duck or hoomin babies in a war zone, finding meaning in the future seems impossible. -- As reflection provides priceless ponderings, lessons must be born from these. Hard lessons, yet we cannot be blind to knowledge they bring. Once, I hated hoomins for stealing my babies, litter after litter, heartbreak after heartbreak for years in a hutch and then, *I* was labeled "mean" by those hateful baby-stealing hoomins. After I got away from those bad hooms & came here, I carried my hatred for hoomins even though I was given multiple husbuns to train & palatial accommodations. Four years of my life & love, were wasted while I festered with hate. Then, I got sick. I was 9 years old.-- To my amazement, I was not discarded for being sick. I was nurtured & given miraculous TLC by my doctor & hoomins. I blossomed into a flower of rabbity wisdom and monochrome beauty. I became the real me. My point is when horror and injustice seem insurmountable, we must look up! Light shines from above and we are below, even I, who am loftily perched on high am below. You cannot dwell in shadow; it is the light-killer and we must send the shadow back to its lair to live in contrast to all that is good. These are just words which symbolize hope. You must nurture and care for them. Binky on. #josephinethechinchillaqueen #bunnyqueen #bunnysanctuary #houserabbits #rabbitrescue #bunnymouf #bunnylove #bunnynose #bunnygram
