I looked out in the backyard today where there is a statue of a Buddha in a small water feature.
I look out at it often, but today, something caught my eye.
There was a rabbit sitting next to the Buddha statue. It was still…as still as the statue! I almost didn’t see it.
They just sat there together. Quietly listening to the water. It was a great scene. I stared at it for a few minutes before going on with my day. I found myself wishing that I had that kind of composure…the discipline to sit so quietly for a few minutes like that rabbit.
Now, I know rabbits can be a nervous bunch! I know they scamper around and avoid snakes and coyotes.
I know.
But at least for those few minutes, it wasn’t a nervous rabbit I saw. It was a calm, quiet creature enjoying a few moments.
Honestly? I don’t know if rabbits “enjoy” their moments…I’m guessing…
But it was pretty special.
Just thought I’d share.
I’m going to go be quiet for a few minutes.
