It hurts a little bit, every time I bare my soul.  I feel the heaviness  in my chest.  There is a sort of vulnerability in blindly reaching out hands just to feel who might take them within their own.  All so I might feel a little less alone.
For a time.

"Rabbit Three"

Dreams of rabbit may suggest feeling soft, docile, or childlike.  Rabbit is often used as a sacrifice in dreams, which suggests the vulnerability we experience as we meet the pain of reality in the maturing process.

"This world is a realm of energy and action; no matter what you know or who you are-- no matter how many books you have read or what your talents-- only action brings potential to life.  Philosophies impress and ideas abound, but words, no matter how elegant are cheap.  It is easy to speak about commitment, courage, and love, but doing is understanding, and wisdom grows out of practice."

Exhaust the little moment. Soon it dies.

And be it gash or gold it will not come

Again in this identical disguise.

We originated in the belly of a star.

Consider that you can see less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum and hear less than 1% of the acoustic spectrum. As you read this, you are traveling at 220 km/sec across the galaxy. 90% of the cells in your body carry their own microbial DNA and are not “you.” The atoms in your body are 99.9999999999999999% empty space and none of them are the ones you were born with, but they all originated in the belly of a star. Human beings have 46 chromosomes, 2 less than the common potato.

 

The existence of the rainbow depends on the conical photoreceptors in your eyes; to animals without cones, the rainbow does not exist. So you don’t just look at a rainbow, you create it. This is pretty amazing, especially considering that all the beautiful colors you see represent less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum.

'She could have been a feral animal, out there in the dark.
White moths and leaves weaved throughout her hair, dirt-stained soles and palms.
Watching her, I got the funny feeling then that my sister wasn't entirely human...'

(Celestial Dynasty)

"The stars were the only omnipresent part of her existence, looming in the vague distance beyond the cold atmospheric rush.  And even those brilliant, beaming bodies were temporary– they would eventually change, just as she would grow into different ideas of the same woman, across centuries, across millennia.  When we was alone, she was reunited with the silence of her childhood.  Standing at the window, she was desperately trying to find companionship with the cosmos.  It was in this night air that she saw the shadows move in an unnatural way, shifting her mesmerized thoughts back into the present.  She felt her isolation reverse without consent, and peered back into the abyss of a quiet home, an empty room with nothing but the fire light to guide her gaze."

"burn after reading"

"But the changes wrought by fire are changed in substance: that which has been licked by fire has a different taste in the mouths of men. That which fire has shone upon retains as a result an ineffaceable colour. That which fire has caressed, loved, adored, has gained a store of memories and lots its innocence. In slang “flambe” is synonymous with “dead and done for” and is used in place of an indecent word that is charged with sexuality."
--Gaston Bachelard, The Psychoanalysis of Fire

To dream of sun exposure represents a renewed sense of optimism.  You are experiencing noticeable or lasting results from something that benefits you.  You have been exposed to a situation which brings you good luck or success.  

Burning releases emotions or energy.  Sometimes our emotions are so strong they may burn away former habits, attitudes, or feelings that have led us to the pain we have encountered.  It signifies the removal of past emotions.  

Burning may also mean warmth.

Shifting Perspectives: Blue Moon in Full Flower, May 21-22, 2016

Full Flower Moon in Sagittarius during the evening of May 21 through the morning of May 22 aides us in discovering our most elusive mysteries with an adaptation in outlook. 

This May blue moon is among the brightest of the year, and rightly so...  It is a time to be fearlessly honest with your wants, needs, and desires.  You may find yourself reflecting deeply on past circumstances, questioning everything you believed to be true, or searching for a new direction to go.  Any looming fears are dwindled by your appetite for big change.  

This is a very important lunation, bringing light to the darkest aspects of ourselves-- resulting in momentous transformation, if only you work hard and are true to your heart.  If the desire burns brightly within you, you are on your way to making your dreams into reality...  Pay no mind to hows or whys.  Remember that any lock can be opened with the right key.
