Discussion Dead Animal at Doorstep

[OpalCheesecake]

Well.. not literally at my doorstep. A few steps away. We've had rabbits around here for a while, but I've never seen a dead one before. Definitely not one so close by at 6 in the morning the one time this week I decide to step out of my house to enjoy the morning air.

But is this a sign from the universe? Do signs even exist? What do you think?

I don't believe in any form of deity, afterlife or universal intervention, but if it gives people comfort then good for them.

I'd say the only sign here was that the rabbit wasn't fast enough.

It could have been a lunch!!

I mean.. it seems pretty whole. No blood or anything.

What do you think this may have been a sign for? I doubt the universe gives us signs, some may believe in such stuff, we actually don't know if there are other dimensions which we cannot access. I think it was just a coincidence.

Let's all have a moment of silence for Bugs. Actually i am an animal lover. There are a lot of bunnies where I live to but they aren't normal bunnies they are jack rabbits. I'm so sorry you were trying to start your day with a pleasant task and you find Mr. Bugs close to your doorstep. I hope your day goes better.

From a spiritual perspective, presume common reasons over spiritual reasons first. Once is an occurrence, twice is a coincidence, more is a pattern and then it could be a sign if you believe in that or simply someone messing with you. Which would be messed up.

I don't necessarily believe signs and magick actually exists but placebo does work very strongly sometimes.

I wouldn't worry :) maybe it got ill, died suddenly, heart attack, something with the brain, etc.

At some pivotal moments in my life, I've come across dead birds. Once there was a dead bird directly on the front stairs. In Finnish folklore, birds are seen as keepers of the soul, protectors of the soul, especially those of children. If you're curious, look up Sielulintu - it means soul-bird in Finnish. I moved that birds body to shaded grass.

Soul-birds are believed to deliver souls to children when they are born, and carry them away after they've died. There's more to it, that is a basic explanation.

When I was a nanny, the family I worked with for quite a few years were moving to Hong Kong. The last day I spent with my little charges was very emotional though I had to hold it in. Once I finally said goodbye to them all, I started to walk my usual route home and as soon as I turned the corner I just burst into tears.

The usual walk was about 2 miles and when I got to this park the little boy particularly loved, I spotted a dead bird laying there beneath some shrubs. I kneeled down and looked at the bird for a while, grieved it, cried with it.

I've come across a dead rabbit in nature only once - again, I knelt down and grieved it, spent a few moments with it, made sure to move it closer under a shrub so it's body wouldn't be run over, walked over, etc.

I have a tattoo of a raven on my right hand - the raven flies between my thumb and index finger, and covers the burn scars I have from the abuse I endured as a child. I like having the raven there - I feel as though he protects me. Also, the raven helped me to begin healing from bulimia as my right hand was my purge hand

not sure about the existence of signs itself, but definitely sure about the anxious mind ability to interpret certain events that way.
but I had a foreboding in a form of very very strange dream that I misinterpreted and paid for it, but that is probably more related to some subconscious phenomena.

I just believe that chance determines everything in this existence, it's just a coincidence, I don't believe there are any signs or a deeper meaning or purpose behind the way that things are.

I hope your day has improved from this morning. It can be very jarring to find a dead animal in your yard or on your way - especially if you don't have experience with it.

I was mentally checked out for a few hours, but made the executive decision to not go outside and remain indoors. Out of sight out of mind!

It disappeared!!!
