The Touch

Rabbit, Am I?

Rabbit Characteristics

Rabbit natives have sensitive caring natures and they are very creative individuals. Their gentleness seems to constantly attract people needing counseling, support and a shoulder to cry on. As a rule Rabbit people are quiet and refined, they are also well-spoken and elegant types with a strong sense of style. The Chinese attribute the emblem of longevity to the Rabbit, giving Rabbit people a link not only to long life but one full of quality. The Rabbit person is courteous, kind and diplomatic and also is a very sympathetic soul. Because of their refined and kind nature, some individual Rabbit people think they are not very strong, well quite the contrary. It takes a lot of strength to be gentle. It is only a misunderstanding that people who have gentleness have no courage. However their strength will shine through in other areas, they are very determined people; they always get what they want. Their sense of fair play is strong and while rules are merely rules to some people, the Rabbit native would prefer to abide by them.

If a Rabbit person holds your secrets rest assured they are safe. Rabbit people are also cautious types taking care before they make decisions, in particular they look before they leap (or hop). This inborn sense of caution allows them to be in control and aware at the same time. Some Rabbits are moody and it is surprising to Rabbits friends when they first encounter this in the Rabbit personality, (however their families are usually used to it). They can sometimes have a sharp tongue, which opposes their charming personality, again another shock to someone who experiences this for the first time in their usually sensitive friend. This is one of their techniques they have developed to make you squirm if they think you deserve it.

A tremendous ability the Rabbit has is to assess situations and other people, giving them more advantage than they are given credit for. With family and friends they will always be there with sympathy if it's needed and constantly willing to support their loved ones. Rarely judging, just shining with their qualities as a compassionate listener and great friend. This loving native will do what they can to restore peace and harmony where discord has interrupted lifestyles. Rabbit knows how to live well and will teach all the finer things life has to offer to their young. Children will always seek the love and tenderness of the Rabbit nature when needing support. They are wonderfully patient parents, listening to their children and recognising their children's needs.

They prefer to have long stable relationships and they are considerate and gentle lovers. inding a tranquil partner to spend their lives with is important to this native and when the family needs the Rabbit to listen they are all ears. They can be frightened easily by over sexual advances and need to feel safe when in love. Rabbits are not the one-night stand types; they prefer romantic candlelit dinners with their true love. The Rabbits traditional reasoning has boundaries that tend to make them reserved, so conspiracies disturb the quiet Rabbit nature. Regardless, they are survivors but they would prefer sensible compromise to confrontations. This nature is the peacemaker; a wonderful friend who is loyal but sometimes sets standards too high for some of their friends. The Rabbit is a terrific judge of character and they are rarely wrong in the assessment of a person and their intuition shows this. They are also very much in harmony with tomorrow. While others are cramming what they can into today, in case there is no tomorrow, Rabbit knows damn well there is a tomorrow. Always remember, Rabbit does not really like combat but if you push them into a corner they could bite your ankles very severely.

THE FIRE RABBIT--1927, 1987, 2047

Watch out, here is a character indeed, the Fire Rabbit. Full of life and ambition, the Fire Rabbit will never let an opportunity go by. Contrary to belief, the Fire Rabbit will be very affectionate and emotional, accompanied by a high level of intuition and charm. The Fire Rabbit cannot resist having fun, even at the expense of getting into trouble or letting their mask drop temporarily. They are inspirational and very progressive in their ways. They usually have a temper that flares up easily and they can turn neurotic at times. The Fire Rabbit also has a knack of always getting their own way, often to the amazement of the person who just gave it to them.

Confidence

Daffy notices a sign on a tree that reads "DUCK SEASON OPEN"
Daffy: "Devilishly clever..." (notices Elmer approching) "Uh,oh!" (runs off screen)
Elmer continues walking until he runs into Daffy (who is disguised as a rabbit).
Daffy: "What's up Doc? Having any luck on those ducks? It's duck season, you know!
Bugs then approches disguised as a duck.
Bugs: "Just a darn minute! Where do you get that "Duck Season" stuff?"
With a look of confidence, Daffy points offscreen.
Daffy: "Says so right over there on that sign, you're so smart."
The sign now reads "RABBIT SEASON OPEN".
Daffy: (still with a look of confidence) "You know what to do with that gun doc..."

Broken Wings

Harini's Poem. Reminded me of a song which goes by the same title.

Broken Wings
[by Alter Bridge]

Fight the fight alone
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light
In our souls

Leave the peace alone
Now we all are slowly changing
Dims a fading light
In our souls

In my opinion seeing is to know
The things we hold
Are always first to go
And who's to say
We won't end up alone

[CHORUS]
On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees
I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
I'll search for so long

Cry ourselves to sleep
We will sleep alone forever
Will you lay me down
In the same place with all I love

Mend the broken homes
Care for them they are our brothers
Save the fading light in our souls

In my opinion seeing is to know
What you give
Will always carry you
And who's to say
We won't survive it too

[CHORUS]

Set a-free all
Relying on their will
To make me all that I am
And all that I'll be

Set a-free all
Will fall between the cracks
With memories of all that I am
And I'll that I'll be

Hmm

Am I really a MSc (hons.) Physics student, when I dont really understand:
> The Uncertainity Principle [A question was raised by a junior - is it about measurement or uncertainity is an inbuilt property? Read John gribbin's "Schrodinger's kittens and the Search for Reality" for details (not that I've read it, have not)]
> Energy [I dont like what was said in the yesterday's lecture, that matter and energy are associated, there is nothing like "pure energy", that it cant exist without the presence of matter]
> Tension in a taut string
> Vectors [Abstraction sure adds to the beauty (Group theory to be specific), but but but...]
> Gravitational effects being a result of special spacetime geometry (I dont know General Relativity)

Oh, and many many things supposedly trivial.

Am I really a MSc (hons.) Physics student?

PS: Not my story!

Couloir

Lights off

The sun shines bright

Sweep Sweep Sweep
The sound of the road being swept

Eyes open
Head feels heavy

A deep whiff of air fills the lungs
A sigh?

Slumber broken
Threshold of another monotony

Glasses
Cant see without them

Cough Cough
Hands tremble

Rocking chair
Its comfortable

Eyes close
Its not dark

Lips curve
Yes, a smile

Hands held
The little girl laughs

He laughs with her
She runs

He runs with her
She runs too fast

He's old
He cant run as fast

She's far
He's let go

She turns her head and smiles
He smiles

She's far but not alone
She's holding someone else's hands

They're both far, waving at him
The old man waves back

Eyes open
Lights off
But the sun shines bright
Walk on the couloir was memorable
The mind just wishes to sleep peacefully now
Lips curve
Yes, a smile

Peace
