What Hides in Your Next Small Step?

What Hides in Your Next Small Step?

Gaze

Walking through a small park,

I see a not full-grown

brown rabbit

under a small bush.

I stop

and look carefully at her

and she returns my gaze.

What could that wiggling nose

be thinking?

What do I imagine?

You seem like a nice man;

In a million years

I wouldn't trade my life

for yours.

To Ponder

            1.   When on the way to look up a word in the dictionary, I’ll

                  often stop for one or two others before I get there.

            2.   Astute listeners may say to me that the question I’ve put

                  before them is not the right question.

            3.   I may go to the store to buy a pair of shoes and return

                  home instead with a new sweater.

            4.   I may start out to take a stand on some issue and find    

                  my heart’s not in it.

            5.   The main reason I start doing something may be to stop

                  doing something else.

            6.   Who knew, certainly not me, that I could light a fire

                  under the school board?

            7.   Who knew, certainly not me, that a rabbit could make

                  me re-think my life?
