rabbit

I am used to a horizon that is flat and unvarying against a clear sky. Driving and walking through these flat places has taught me that when you are in a space expecting very little that the slightest variation can be very exciting. One time I was walking in a flat Idaho prairie, for example, and a jack rabbit sprung out of the landscape and bounded off. He had such big feet that stuck up like exclamation points. This I think is similar to how we have to have low expectations for what we think will happen in our lives, so that when something does happen it is always a pleasant surprise.
