An Alice moment

Walking along the river bank, there was no-one else around.  So I stopped to pick some long dried grasses...as they look good in my brown jug vase, along with a small bunch of silk poppies. 
As I moved through the grass a small white 'something' caught my eye as it moved beneath a thorn bush.  I stood still, as although I have seen baby rabbits in this area, this one was white...so potentially, perhaps, it was someone's lost pet.  I'd stood for a short time and was about to move on when I saw it again!  This time very clearly...a piece of tissue hanging from a thorn! 

It is so easy isn't it, within the séance room, and within everyday life, to feel excitement about something half-seen.  Something, or someone, we know just a little about, holds our interest, until we learn more.  There are times, of course, when a piece of tissue is useful, and it might in fact be exactly what we need...but not when we are intent upon hoping to find a white rabbit.
