I don't think we are meant to take Joanna Newsom literally. It's not about about abortion, or babies, or at least I don't think so. It's about God. It's like we've forgotten and we're on earth in this dream but Joanna remembers. And her remembering is represented by the bunny, which she follows. Which is like a rediscovering of the magic underneath everything. And God hasn't actually left, we've just forgotten our true nature. And we need to remember, and carry the torch to our fellow humans who are trapped in the dream, and help them remember their true divinity. Below I have pasted a little bit about birch symbolism in celtic mythology: This is a powerful metaphor for our lives. The birch asks us to philosophically go where no other will go (voluntarily or otherwise). The birch asks us to take root in new soils and light our lives with the majesty of our very presence. The birch sings to us: "Shine, take hold, express your creative expanse, light the way so that others may follow." Paradoxically, while the birch is a brilliant symbol of renewal, it is also symbolic of stability and structure. The druids also held the birch as the keepers of long-honored traditions. Associated with the sun, the birch is a solar emblem, and facilitates passion, energy, as well as growth. This solar association is paralleled when we learn the druids carried birch bark with them as kindling. Birch serves as a perfect igniter as it will start to burn even when damp. This makes it a prized fire starter over most other wood types. Here again, this makes for a perfect analogy. The birch asks us to serve our fellow man with a fire in our hearts. In this respect, the birch reminds us that even if our spirits are dampened by the set backs in life, we can always catch fire from the spark of passions that drive us to divinity. |

It's all about depression. It's about being alone, and bored, waiting for something to happen, or a person to come along to take you out of it. But the person never comes and something never happens. |
