boojum the brown bunny sneaks quietly into the room and carefully pins a sheet of parchment to the wall. He steps back to make sure the carefully scribed sheet is level.... then sneaks back out again. Returning to his quiet burrow.




I am a gentle bunny.



  1. I am a gentle bunny. I will listen carefully befor I speak.

  2. I am a gentle bunny. I will think before I speak.

  3. I am a gentle bunny. I will remember that when I speak I can hurt others. Will what I say cause others pain.

  4. I am a gentle bunny. Can I change the way I say something to avoid hurting another yet still say it?

  6. I am a gentle bunny. If I wish to show others the things that I love I will check with those present in case they do not wish to be involved.

  7. I am a gentle bunny. I will accept any gift freely given, yet I will never ask for a free gift.

  8. I am a gentle bunny. I will remember that though I may not love something, that does not mean another may not love it.

  9. I am a gentle bunny. I will listen and think on everything a person says, not just the parts I wish to fight with or the parts with which I allready agree.

  10. I am a gentle bunny. What I believe in is important to me. I will remember that what others believe in is important to them.

  11. I am a gentle bunny. Another person may hold dear to their heart a view that contradicts mine. This does not mean that their view or mine is wrong for each may be the right choice for each of us.

  12. I am a gentle bunny. I will remember that words hurt worse and longer than blows.

  13. I am a gentle bunny. If someone speaks to hurt me, have I given them cause? Is there something I have said or done that has caused them pain?

  14. I am a gentle bunny. If I find myself wanting to hurt someone to make my point, I will look at what I am saying to see what is lacking in my view that I must harm another that they might agree?

  15. I am a gentle bunny. My rules are for myself. I should not expect others to obey them. My rules work for me, others find other rules work for them.

  16. I am a gentle bunny. I will remember that what I imply with what I say is more often heard than what I actually say. I will be carefull about what I imply.

  17. I am a gentle bunny. I will remember that every time I attack a person I hurt others who are close to them who I never meant to hurt.

  18. I am a gentle bunny. When a person stands against the world for what they love, then what they love has value. I will not belittle what they love nor seek to destroy it.

  19. I am a gentle bunny. If a person comes to me in anger I will listen to all they have to say and think about it. I will think about how I would feel if what happened to them had happened to me. I will not return hatred for hatred, nor anger for anger.

  20. I am a gentle bunny. Their are times in every bunnies life when they are no longer gentle. I will remember this in others and watch for it in me.

  22. I am a gentle bunny. Even though I love to be touched I will remember that others may not. I will be certain I have anothers consent before I touch them.

  23. I am a gentle bunny. Hatred hurts me yet I will not cause pain to another in return. Hatred hurts others so I will not hate.

  24. I am a gentle bunny. The world holds more possibilities than I have ever imagined. While I am out of my hideyhole I will seek to see what is new in the world. To see the worth in everything I find.

  25. I am a gentle bunny. I will remember that a person confronted in public must defend themselves regardless of how right or wrong they were. A person spoken with in private will give me their true feelings on what I have to say.

  26. I am a gentle bunny. I will give from my heart, giving for the joy of seeing the pleasure others gain from my gift.

  27. I am a gentle bunny and like being a gentle bunny.
