On a dark night, when the stars were hanging high and the moon low, a white rabbit met an owl.
In the dark forest the trees were creaking, aching under their weight and swaying in the wind.
The owl asked rabbit if the weeping wind bothered him and, 
without waiting for an answer,
continued:
"The wind tries to unwire all those long lost years. It tries to hollow the ghosts from behind our eyes. Don't be afraid."
The small rabbit replied:
"I am scared. But I am lucky that I am. Fear means love, fear means you have something to lose and I love my life. 
I am scared, but there is no rush to get beyond this moment and not to enjoy it. 
The wounds I have, they're just shadows and will be gone when the sun rises again."
