“Zaya” arrives as a quiet visitation — a girl seated in soft light, a white rabbit resting in her lap like an ancient truth disguised in fur. It is an image that feels almost whispered, as though the animal kingdom keeps circling us, insisting on being understood in ways we once knew as children.

Around our dinner tables there have been many conversations about these creatures who follow us, appearing in dreams, in stories, in the corner of the eye. It was Mamma who wondered aloud which animals walk beside us — not the proud lion or the fierce eagle, but the gentler ones, the shy ones, the ones whose symbolism hides beneath their softness.

My sister, half embarrassed, claimed the rabbit as hers. She resisted it — the fearfulness, the trembling heart, the nervous chewing. But the universe has a sense of humour. On her way to the grocery store she walked straight into a giant rabbit — a man in a clumsy costume, ears and all. A nudge. A reminder. A messenger dressed oddly, but a messenger still.

The next day I wrote her a letter, sharing what rabbits have always known:

Rabbits chew endlessly — a symbolic act of breaking things down, of contemplation, of turning confusion into meaning.
They live lightly, burrowing deep into the earth, carrying with them the energies of nourishment, intuition, and the warm, womb-like spaces that help us gather ourselves.

As children we adored their playfulness; as adults we forget that this, too, is wisdom.
Rabbits remain magical, mysterious beings — guardians of the subtle, keepers of the earth’s quiet spirit.

“Zaya” captures that magic. A gentle soul holding another gentle soul, both reflecting back the sacred softness we often overlook. The portrait becomes less about girl and rabbit, and more about the unseen bonds between us — the symbols we carry, the stories they patiently wait for us to listen to.
