                     Gloaming 

                                Twilight, the beginning of evening.

Peter and Petal Mouse

Peter and Petal meet in the gloaming, the twilight of betwixt and between.  No cats can find them and no one can harm them.  It is the magic hour.

Peter always takes his beloved to sweet places.   They meet on spongy cakes where they make sugary tracks in the cool icing.  Here it snows candy confetti and flowers spring from the corners they nibble.

                                 Transcend

To rise above,
                   or go beyond, overpass;
                                            exceed: to out do or exceed in excellence.

Bunny on the moon

 The bunny on the moon was the best star catcher of all. He let his shiny friends sit in his comfortable basket and fed them tidbits of moon cheese.  He gave them rides on his fishing pole and flung them to far off places in the galaxy.  He sang them lullabies and loved them dearly.
 How did the best star catcher transcend all ideas of friendship?
 He let them all go.

Glimmer
           To glitter

                                to flash,  to give a faint or intermittent light.

The Bunny Brotherhood


This was the day that he had been waiting for.  This was the day he would join the Bunny Brotherhood where all were long of ear and brave of heart.
As a kit, he had had a glimpse of what that would mean.  Many a bunny came back from the initiation with an extra spring in the leg, a knowing gleam in the eye.  These bunnies were brave and true.  They were sworn to protect, educate and treat all bunnykind with kindness and love.

Quintessence The most essential part of any substance; a highly refined essence or extract.  The purest and most perfect form or manifestation of some quality.
 
This is what is was like to love.
                                love            love

  love           The new arrival, snuggled in his periwinkle blue pajamas  love
                          was the quintessence of love.
                                                           No one would ever be the same..                Love

Intuition

                             Intuition
To Look, to receive knowledge by direct perception
                                                       To behold

Laundry Day
             Something big was coming.
 
 She felt it in the way the wind batted at her ankles, at the way the very blades of grass perked up by the approaching storm.  This would be no ordinary storm.  She needed to get home fast.  Something would be waiting for her.
                                                                                     Something Good.

Abundance

                                    Abundance
Mother and baby bunny

 Even though they were poor, home was full of plenty.  It was overwhelming in its lavishness, its opulence.  Love spilled out of the door and lit up the dark forest outside.

  Abundance: 
                Overflowing state or condition.
                                                           More than enough.

Whimsy

Whimsy a capricious notion or fancy.

                          Deviation from the ordinary.   
 
Dainty Mice


"But why?"  asked Miriam, "why did all the mice get up and start dancing all at once?  There is no rhyme or reason!"
The professor stroked his chin thoughtfully, "It must have been a whim, a flight of fancy."
"Madness," muttered Miriam.
